quote:

There were emergency brakes that acted on the rim of each haulage drum, but due to inadequate maintenance, the emergency brakes for both cars were inoperative, which left Sinai without any brakes once its physical connection to the service brake was lost. Contrary to what might be expected, the new funicular was constructed with neither safety cable nor track brakes, either of which would have prevented the accident; the NTSB was unable to identify another funicular worldwide that operated without either of these safety features.

No one else has hosed up as badly as you. Outstanding.

I understand if there is some sort of cultural cringe or something, but I looked it up on YouTube and these people seem to dance alright? I mean they seem to have some sort of rhythm going at least, and the music is cool

(Obviously ignore the intro advert)

Cultural cringe is a way of putting it. It was lumped in with debutante balls, racial and economic exclusivity, and a bunch of not very feel good stuff that upper class white southerners tend to engage themselves with in a small town. For me it tends to illicit some not so great feelings but I can understand why some people, who didn't experience it the way I grew up experiencing it, could get down with it.
I just have a hard time divorcing it from a lot of racist and classist poo poo.

Immediately going to 'this wasn't an accident, it happened for a reason' (insinuating this is somehow ordained by god) is an interesting way to cope with a life-changing injury that could have been totally prevented with a bit more safety on his own part.

Worlds of Fun had one, it was fun as hell, but they retired it reportedly because it was one of the first rides in the park and was becoming too difficult to find replacement parts.

I went to Worlds of Fun about five or so years back and that was the first thing I rode. I then felt too crappy to ride any of the other rides for the rest of the day...

I'm guessing you made the classic rookie mistake* of turning your head left or right a couple of times while the ride was at full spin. That's the fast track to motion sickness-ville.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

Same thing happened near me not too long ago. Old lady driving a car mounted footpath and hit a stop sign. The guys skull was split open and his brain was so damaged he died and hour later in the resus room.
