Markey reintroduces ride safety act while most states and parks have standards in place

You've really got to admire dogged determination. ;)

Some guys just can't let a stupid idea for wasting taxpayers money die.

Remember this guy at election time.

I'll bet he was just waiting for an amuesment park fatality before resubmitting this. Too bad for him the body count was low.

Godzillian, he's a liberal in Massachusetts. He'll be re-elected.

You know, that's a pretty wrong thing to say. It was resubmitted on May 22nd, before the incident on the Raven and pretty well after the one on Raging Bull. Plus, none of us like what Markey's trying to do but it is largely unrelated to either of those two events anyway.

He's no liberal. He's a just an opportunist playing to a liberal crowd.

Check out this page, it has a lot of Acrobat files with other info about his "Ride safety act." http://www.house.gov/markey/iss_amusement_safety.htm

If at first don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

am i mistaken or did they not conduct a test to prove g-forces on coasters are completely safe? majority of accidents are rider faulty........this guy dosn't give up!

we should all run a campaign in his home state to make sure that he does not get elected again, then when he looses tell him ACE and other coaster groups prevented his election, strap him on some tracks, and let a coaster train run over his sorry ass.
