Action Park and its defenders often pointed out that it was one of the first water parks in the nation and thus pioneered ideas that were later widely copied. This meant that visitors were using rides that had not been tested through practical use for very long. Ride designers may have had insufficient training in physics or engineering. "They seemed to build rides," one attendee recalled, "not knowing how they would work, and [then let] people on them."

Little brats.

Also, some of those kids seem like really bad actors... or is that just how kids are these days?

Finally watched the vid, and wanted to write something about health and safety nightmare, but that appears to be the gist of the article anyway.
