Charges considered over Hydro death

Who exactly are they going to charge?

That's what I was thinking. You need to come to some conclusion about how it happened before you can charge someone, and for some reason we still haven't heard of any such conclusion.

Perhaps considering these options is just to make sure these options are not ruled out? The park, the manufacturer? I hope they come to some conclusive place about this soon.

I wouldn't read too much into this at present. It's most likely that the CPS are being consulted to establish exactly what would constitute manslaughter on behalf of the park/manufacturer (or whoever) and what kind of evidence would be required to make a prima facie case.

As Jenny said: they're most likely just not ruling anything out at present and seeking appropriate advice from the authorities before deciding on how best to proceed.

I'll be very interested to see how this accident happened, as-if memory serves- in the previous incident fatality on the Perilous Plunge ride, the rider was simply too large for the restraints to be effective and should not have been allowed to board. However, this certainly does not appear to have been the case here.

Best,

I wonder if the press latched on to one sentence or phrase that sounds sensational when taken out of context.
