    However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

    yeah poor people.

    Not so much in the original concept of the thread though, not very lighthearted fun.

    True. I was just thinking rollercoaster accident here last year or year before cost two people a leg. A much tamer family ride in Oz goes wrong and people die
    Rather morbid in hindsight.

    water and moving machinery always has the potential to go drastically wrong, in part because the nature of the flow can be unpredictable.
    ill wait for the inquest but at the moment it looks like a failed pump caused this.
    Im surprised there wasnt a deadmans switch on the tubes though something that shuts off the ride if they go over 90 degrees and drains the water or inflated airbags or something

    It wasn't mentioned in the linked news article, but they'd previously had mechanical issues on that same ride in the same place twice before. Six people were in the raft, the two smallest were thrown clear and survived, two were thrown and killed, and two more were recovered from underneath the raft, but it's not implied that they drowned. It seems likely that where was some underlying issue that caused a catastrophic failure, bypassing the safety mechanisms.

    best not to drw conclusions until the police investigation is finished, the news is largely full of all sorts of BS at the moment.
