Carbon dioxide posted:Wasn't there a fatal accident in an UK theme park some years ago? The recent incident that comes to mind is the Smiler crash of 2015. It's a steel rollercoaster with 14 inversions - I've never been on it, it wasn't built the last time I was at Alton Towers. To summarise quickly, on 2nd June 2015 they'd temporarily added a fifth train to the coaster because of crowding. Somehow an empty test train got stuck and an engineer overrode the perfectly operational safety system, not knowing the test train was there. A loaded train rammed into it at 20mph and five people were seriously hurt. Two of them lost limbs. There've been a few other fatalities in the last 20 years or so, people falling off rides or injured while climbing around near them and such.
