Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
A stand-up coaster at Expoland Park in Japan derailed killing one person.

Does it make me a bad person to think thats funny?
Cause its the first thing I thought of when I heard of the story too.
Worst part about the accident was the fact that the park put off yearly maintenance of the coaster a few months so it could operate this week and their special events.

Well this might shut up all the people saying "OMG Dejavu wasn't open this is an outrage." Would you rather have Dejavu derail or have a safe opening for the ride? Exactly. Don't breathe.

If that wasn't enough, what if one of its restraints detached while the ride vehicle ascended the first tower?

Yeah, its actually NOT a link, some of us do this whole copy and paste thing...you can cut text too...its pretty cool. </sarcasm>
But this whole story is very sad, I hope we can eventually prevent these types of accidents from ever happening.
