Well, if you're riding a motorcycle/scooter/whatever... The video is not directly OSHA material, then. Point stands at least that not having giant chunks of debris in your eye is preferable.

theflyingexecutive posted:I love the Disney fan blog reporting it took the ride offline for five hours. Reminds me of this: When a teenager was killed by Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Over Georgia, the ride was closed for weeks (maybe months??) and Six Flags installed new warning signs on ride fences across all their parks. When someone was similarly killed last summer by Raptor at Cedar Point, it reopened the next day with no changes. Now... are there any changes that would have prevented an idiot from climbing a fence into an obviously dangerous area? Probably not. But Cedar Point (for all its gloating about safety) has a poor safety record. When I worked there (a decade ago) there was no lock-out/tag-out for the rides. It was fully up to the college kids running them to make sure no one was working on the ride or in a low zone before operating it. One year I worked on this thing which as part of the opening procedures we had to walk up the bobsled track to inspect it. Nothing prevented someone from starting the ride while we were in the path of the cars. Employees were also expected to climb to the top of these coasters with no safety tie off (Magnum at 200ft had the tallest lift walk. MF and Dragster have no stairs). I saw maintenance start this ride (which instantly accelerates the train up to 72 MPH) while rides employees were inside the restricted area. Ride employees also had full access to the maintenance mode of the rides. Other parks might restrict such a thing but at Cedar Point it would be too much work to have maintenance crews come out for every little issue. It was fairly common for two trains on Dragster to "bump" when the hosts were trying to open or close the ride. Or even when restarting from downtime. But I'll also partially blame the manufacturer for that one. Come on, Intamin! Who the hell builds a $25 million ride that requires employees to manually flip switches on the drive tires to move trains around?! OSHA finally fined them and they added lock-out/tag-out around 2010. I'm pretty sure lift walks are unchanged, however. There was also the Magnum accident which the park blamed on rain but was well known by employees to have been caused by maintenance incorrectly adjusting the brake system. Fun Fact! This is why to this day all the rides at Cedar Point close when it starts raining (no lightning). Even ones that have magnetic brakes. Wildcat had a history of accidents too before it had a repeat of the 2008 rollback before the 2012 season started and they closed it for good. Finally, don't forget Shoot-The-Rapids which was torn down this year after only 5-ish years of operation. It not only couldn't run boats at full capacity due to poor engineering (Intamin strikes again) but also suffered a lift rollback which injured riders in 2013.

This is probably what scares me the most. I was at Cedar Point in 2014 a few times (two days in late May or early June as part of a big summer road trip and two nights during HalloWeekends) and Magnum was vertigo-inducing if you looked anywhere but forward near the top of the lift hill. If I was told to climb the whole hill without a tie-off, I'd probably quit on the spot.

Code Jockey posted:What in the gently caress Yep. I never climbed Magnum personally but I did Raptor, Demon Drop, Disaster Transport, and Maverick. Raptor at least had a chain link fence thing under the track (mostly for catching loose articles). Magnum had only the stairs and a handrail on one side. https://coasterbuzz.com/CoasterPhoto/CoasterPhotoImage/4764 Zero One fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Apr 30, 2016 |

I suspect Colin's death will be quite boring, probably CO poisoning in his bunker or shed. Remember, kids, unflued combustion gasses in confined spaces kill.

It really needs dead man's switches on both foot rests and handle bars and also rotors that cut off immediately when one of those switches is disengaged.

Anony Mouse posted:Huh so I guess a small personal hoverbike is technically feasible. We could all be riding around on Star Wars wannabe speeders. A big company with lots of engineering power could probably design something a lot more elegant than that. I wonder why they haven't? It probably also has the same problem a lot of hovering/jet pack things do, which is it can't reasonably carry enough fuel.
