All of those things indicate the occupants are not dead, which is still better than if they are not leaving the plane I guess.

A great landing is one where the plane can be used again

Seeing a motionless kid with traumatic amputation injuries as a teen would've been supremely upsetting, so I don't ever blame that one kid from running away.

I feel like the big red button should be replaced with a Deadman switch, so if the failsafe person, iunno, gets injured, incapacitated, or runs away from their position, it activates.

The Six Flags thing really sucks because the guy who made the video is blaming the operator and I can guarantee that the operator was told by management to never, ever, under any circumstances, press the e stop without authorization from said management. Also, 10 seconds doesn't sound to me like enough time to really figure out what is even going on.

yeaaaaaahhhhhhh buuuuuut if I'm a ride operator, I've just started the ride cycle, and I hear a loud loving unexpected bang from the ride, I'm loving hitting that estop with all of my limbs, I don't give a poo poo about finding out what exactly happened. But yes, you're probably right that management told the operators they'd be instafired for hitting the button.

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!
When I was a ride op I was trained on one of those swinging ship type rides. The manager training me explained to never hit the E-Stop button because it didn't stop the ride... it cut the power which changed the ship into an uncontrolled free-swing that would just keep going.

There was a separate "Ride Stop" button that would stop the ride in an emergency.

Even better, it's probably more like:

"Oh, no, not at all, you should absolutely hit the e-stop if you have any suspicion that there's a safety hazard. We're very clear on that. Safety first! Buuuuut, just be aware that if you e-stop unnecessarily, we're going to have to conduct a disciplinary review. We totally trust you and will stand by your decisions, as long as you're really sure that it's the correct move. Just understand that, well, false alarms generate negative shareholder value..."

Yeah , is it not conceivable that there are circumstances in which cutting the power semi‐permanently is not the right move?

We saw here that the restraints could not be opened till maintenance arrived and overrode it. That’s bad.

It seems to me that the major problem here, other than the maintenance on that cable, is that the ride defaulted to dropping after ten seconds.

The E‐stop button could have been pressed during that countdown, but perhaps a dead‐mans switch would be a better solution. When it’s not depressed, don’t let the ride move either up or down, and don’t lock out the power for good.

I’m a stick in the mud who wouldn’t even use the biological or radiological hazard symbols for decorative purposes, but I have to say that that would make a neat keychain.

Problematic, but neat.

Perhaps I am unclear on what happened, but the "defaulting to dropping" sounded like normal operation (i.e. in the 10 second delay before the e-stop was hit it behaved normally)? It also makes sense that hitting the E-stop during a drop would engage the brakes and attempt to stop the cars as safely as is possible for the riders.

Also agreed that the E-stop should be relatively simple to undo. It is a tricky situation though - it's one button that has to safely stop everything in unknown equipment conditions. You absolutely do not want the rider's restraint bars opening up when the riders are 50 feet in the air, for instance, no matter how hard the rider attempts to get themselves out.

We had a radiological canister show up in the hospital rehab-gym once, some transport person left it in the pocket on the back of this wheel chair...so the tech pulls this thing out, is like "what is this???", and it's like a tungsten tube with radioactive hazard symbols on it...I'm like "DROP AND RUN!" and I get really freaked out, trying to argue with people to leave the gym right loving now. Turns out it was whatever they use to house dyes for nuclear stress tests or something...then the tech went ahead and cracked it open and it was empty. I had just read that story from Brazil about those dudes taking apart that chemo machine and I freaked the hell out (thanks chemistry thread).

I'm wondering why there wasn't an automated mechanism that would notice, say, the cable tension wasn't in the correct bounds and automatically brought the cars to a halt? Though I suppose stuff like that costs money, and it's not like carnies are good at investing in safety measures.

Just out of curiosity. When you are stuck in an electrified vehicle, is it safe to touch the metal parts of the vehicle as long as you're not touching the ground at the same time? Should be, right?

Don't earth. That's the most important part.

A classmate of mine was working as a logger. The boom hit a high tension line.

The tires began burning. The dude in the cab was safe. Driver was isolated. My classmate saw the tires catch on fire so he grabbed the fire extinguisher on the side of the rig.

He earthed. Full overhead voltage through is body. He was dead-right-there. DRT. They tried CPR but he was a hot dog at that point.

He had no idea what was happening. He was just trying to help with the fire and he earthed. Don't earth out. You are not safe. High tension is high tension. Just be safe. Wait 5 seconds and then make your decision. The worst I've had is 240v across my body. 120,000 volts is not a thing I wish to experience.

Feel assured that you had the correct reaction. You should find out who your facilities radiation safety officer is so you know who to tell if it happens again.
