i hope the togo wasent to badly damaged.

these accidents happen to all parks at some time in there historys or in there future.
remember these are just mechanical machines and no matter how much maintanence or obsrvation there is one day somthing will go badly wrong.
it happens to the best and worst parks all over the world. for example
drayton manor: 2 killed on the snake in 1992
alton towers: 1 person killed by nemesis after he jumped over the barrier infront of the train
Blackpool pleasure beach. 4 killed after the big one crashed

just to name a few. so things break and nothing can change that.
condolances to the family of the person who died

probally, there are atleast 4 accidnets in the uk alone that cause people to be sent to hospital. but 99.99999% are there own fault and nothing to do with the park.
off the beaten track is a dangerous place in theme parks and as most of you know follow what the ride-ops say and do as the signs say.

well thats unless its one of sixflagsfiestas rideo ops cuz he tells them bad things[lol]
