Weird. Seems like a pandemic of rollercoaster accidents lately.

I don't see why they shouldn't. The Big One had a crash in its (second?) season, and that's still running 15 years later. However, the HSE may recommend the original hand-lever braking system be replaced by a 'more reliable' computer one like the modern rides.

This is very tragic but I'm glad no one was killed. This reminds me of when there was a big fire on Grand National in 2004.

From link:
Sounds as though they all suddenly lost control of their bowels.
The cars were 6m (20ft) above the ground when one rammed into the other at 7.45pm, causing 32 people to be evacuated.
