no you wouldn't.
you'd drive home wishing you had the nuts to say anything to anyone in person. people like you run your mouths online because you could never do it irl.
I'd have to agree with this, with no disrespect intended to joswift.
As a parent, my thought process may be different, but only if I could be absolutely certain my son was dead, and managed to process that immediately, and move on - at which point, I might be in such a state to kill Jesse Pinkman, who operated the ride - even then, I'd need to be confident in knowing he was the one who messed things up, rather than a mechanical failure being responsible.
I think we make comments about what we would do, with the knowledge we have now. In the moment - things could be different.
Personally, I think joswift would be too busy trying to make sure the kid is ok to deal with that guy filming it. It's hard to say, but what I mean is that I think our attention wouldn't necessarily be on that if we were there in the moment.
After watching the video though, I wonder: where was the sense of immediacy with staff members? As per usual, all the women can do is scream and call for help, contributing nothing to the kid who fell off the ride.
But frankly, the entire video was a disgrace to me, and literally everyone there made mistakes - even up to the level of the manufacturer.
Why didn't the ride have a bottom structure by the rider's crotch, essentially forcing them to stay seated? How was that ride even able to START without some mechanism capable of ensuring everyone was locked in place?
What an absolute boondoggle. At least the kid's parents will get a big settlement from this.
