The Reason

---

The Department of Public Safety report, released Friday, blamed an unidentified 20-year-old attendant for not making sure Stanley J. Mordarsky was safely restrained in the Superman Ride of Steel on May 1.

Mordarsky should have been denied admission because his girth prevented a T-bar lap restraint from fitting firmly against his thighs, the report said.

Mordarsky, 55, had cerebral palsy, used a motorized scooter and was 5-foot-2 and weighed 230 pounds, according to his family.

The full article is in the link above. Also above are some VERY interesting facts about what had happened that made Intamin ordered that the seatbelts be shortened and such.

If you read it, it says the ride attendent FAILED to make sure the guest was properly restrained on Superman: Ride of Steel. So, it was Six Flags fault, not the ride.

It also states the guest was that he was of "extreme size" and should not have been aloud to ride. Once again, Six Flags fault!

Finally, the last bit of information! The man had cerebral palsy, which is were the victim doesn't have control over some or most of the muscles in their body. So he probably couldn't have held onto anything during the ride.

What I'm getting at is, IT'S ALL SIX FLAGS FAULT FOR THIS ACCIDENT!

None of this was Intamins fault, Six Flags was lazy and didn't realise that this man was too large to ride. I don't know about you, but this really makes me angry.

Thanks for bringing up something we've known about for months. It has already been discussed to death.
