I was browsing through various forums and came across this rather horrible incident at Drayton Manor yesterday.

That is quite shocking, im glad that the Man only suffered minor injuries from the incident.  A bit of a bad blow for Drayton Manor too, it is horrible when things like this happen to family run, family fun parks.  We all remember the horrible incident at Oakwood a few years back.

Its a real shame that its happened now. After opening the new area, you'd think it would all be working well. Lets hope the guys ok, and the press doesn't damage the park.

That sounds really bad!!

I was able to use the story on a Health and Safety course i took at college as it all tied in.

What are they going to do about the ride now?
