Interesting topic! If the aviation industry thinks few crashes are okay as in cost of doing business in that case I am not surprised that in majority of countries checks and balances are out of order within the amusement industry. Ever wondered what happens inside your body in event of sudden acceleration and jerks? Trust me you don’t get NASA’s quality of technology nor in-depth research from the healthcare industry in your mega rides. In the end everything boils down to statistics where 0.1% can either end up in some sort of mental disorder (as in fear of flying) or internal organ damage. But who cares since name of the game is fun where theme is profitability!
