I just read that entire thing. Horrifying. I've heard this topic discussed before but never really followed through on it. Just to check up on making sure that those monsters would rot, I google'd it and found on wikipedia:
On February 22, 2019, criminal charges were dismissed against Henry, Schooley, and Miles.

Jesus Christ.

From that document, in one of many injury reports:

quote:

On June 16, 2016, Norris "JJ" Groves rode on Verrückt with his family. Groves was
sitting in the back seat behind his wife, with his son in the front seat. As the raft
went over the crest of the second hill, the raft went airborne and Groves' face and
forehead collided with an overhead hoop and netting.


The raft then crashed into the concrete wall at the end of the runout pool.
The lifeguards at the bottom of the ride told Groves that the raft had gone way too fast.
The impact with the hoop and netting caused Grove's right eye to swell shut for the rest of the day.
Groves was taken to the first aid station. Groves told the first aid employee and a SWKC
supervisor on the scene that the raft had gone airborne.
Groves estimates that his
family weighed, in the aggregate, at least 510 pounds on the day of the ride.

In response to the Groves incident, MILES intercepted the incident reports which the
lifeguards had written. MILES destroyed these written witness statements. MILES
then forced the lifeguards to write coached statements which omitted any detail of
how the injury had occurred. MILES then ordered the medical staff to alter their
medical reports.
It already happened before a couple of times and they covered it up and continued operating the ride, and they still didn't get convicted for anything apparently.
That's some nice functioning legal system you guys have over there :stonk:

Amazingly nobody gets hurt

Yeah, it seems super not worth it to risk the death of a bunch of cyclists/pedestrians to catch this guy for drving too fast on the highway or whatever they chased him for.

Have some more motrocycle cop OSHA:

Here's a cop just randomly pepper-spraying a group of motorcyclists passing by, which also doesn't seem like the safest practice:

quote:

Firefighters in North Yorkshire have tackled a blaze that broke out after a pig swallowed a pedometer which then combusted in its pen after excretion.

The fire crews were called to a blaze covering 75 square metres at four pigpens in Bramham, near Leeds, on Saturday afternoon.

The North Yorkshire fire and rescue service said the fire was caused by “nature taking its course” and copper from the pedometer battery reacting with dry hay and the pigpen’s contents.

The pedometer was being used to prove the animal was free range and had been taken off one of its fellow pigs.

No animals were harmed as a result of the fire.
