Coasters R Us

Thank you because I never said that. My point of that was whether Ardent would be heartless enough to use it in the lawsuit. I actually do understand about people, regardless of their careers and training, being affected by horrific scenes and being emotionally and mentally wrecked as a result. A sibling was killed in a car accident that resulted in a fireball. I'm not going into the details but let's just say it's one of my experiences with emergency and hospital services that makes me wonder (and appreciate) how they could actually do their jobs. And the compassion that those guys (and girls) had for my family after dealing with such a traumatic scene was just amazing. I will be the first to tell you that they are overworked and underpaid.

They probably now wish they had have changed the system back when in 2015. It could have saved them a lot more money in the long run (visitor numbers down now, lawyers, lawsuits) not to mention the terrible loss of four innocent lives. So from the testimony this week, management was incredibly aware that it was a dangerous ride when a certain chain of events occurred. That they didn't try to minimise the risk with extra monitors and more CCTV at minimum and a one stop complete shut down button is baffling. What is really interesting is that two paramedics and a nurse are three of the four in the lawsuit against Ardent. While the fourth, the engineer, could reasonably expect to never have to experience what they did that day, it could be argued that the paramedics and (trainee) nurse would reasonably expect to witness something as horrific at some time in their career as they did that day and hence they might not be as successful in their damages claim. Food for thought

No, thank you, you are doing the Lord's work. Very insightful. Nothing wrong at all with that. I am a total newbie around here so I don't want to make a dick of myself but I have a heap of questions from some of the contradictory testimony that has been given at the inquest so far.

I wish @Jdude95 was reporting from the inquest today. The Twitter feeds are nowhere near as informative as his/her notes and half the journos don't even make sense.
