From design flaws to cover-ups when deadly accidents occur, the squeaky-clean image of theme parks is plagued with circumstances park officials and ride manufacturers prefer the general public not be informed of. Theme Park Safety Failure$ sheds a glaring beacon of light on issues and incidents that riders and attendees should be made fully aware of--that their lives are at an even greater risk than ever before. Since theme parks are constantly competing against one another with higher, bigger, and faster installations, safety issues are being totally disregarded with virtually no time for error. The operating staff members are in most cases minors, while some facilities often utilize volunteers of non-profit organizations to man the ride platforms. This is the ride that will make you pray.
