Hi can you speak a little more about the decision-making process, and speak about who contributed to this process so that we have perhaps a slightly better understanding of this forum?

Comedy equals tragedy plus distance and untagged snuff or gratuitous gore reduces the distance. It's not rocket science and it costs you nothing to tag poo poo.

Two questions about this:
1. What is the fragment that fucks off skyward on the right edge of the video frame at about the 0:20 mark?
2. How was this even supposed to work? The boom must have been going to strike the crane on the right no matter how slowly they lowered it.

That rooster that survived 18 months "without a head" was missing the front half of its skull, its brain was in the part still attached.

OK, but at that point why not just have a ladder?

Because alternating-tread stairs are easier to use than a ladder

A normal staircase would be preferable but if there's not room for that then alternating-tread is better than a ladder.

I don’t think that’s the recommended procedure.

My favourite part is that both "evaporation tests" are captioned with "~30 seconds" even though the 100LL is visibly dry after 10 seconds and the Jet A clip ends after 25 seconds with the hand looking just as wet as it started.

He calls the operators' actions the ultimate cause. The ultimate cause was cheap, insufficient cables, with cheap, insufficient maintenance. The proximate cause was the actions of the operators, which was likely motivated by fear for their jobs if they made a wrong call.

He also says that the addition of an E stop on the enable panel makes the accident impossible to repeat. If the ride still automatically drops at the top instead of waiting for a command to release, then no, the addition of another emergency stop button does not prevent this from happening again.
