Worker hit by roller coaster at West Edmonton Mall

I have never, ever owned a hat that was worth getting killed over. Even my hat with Derek Jeter's signature isn't particularly important to me.

I can't believe that they don't tell workers up front that entering the ride area without locking it out is grounds for termination. If that isn't policy, it should be.

Well, he was almost terminated.

What's up with workers being hit by spinning coasters!? This is the third one I can think of - but this person lived.

Lock out, Tag out is the law.

No excuse for this one unless its proven they were never trained that way.

I think the (relatively) low speed of the cars tends to make people complacent.

Dave's signature should be posted directly adjacent to the time-clock for all employees who work on or around rides...machines simply do not care.

With or without the ASCII art?

With, of course. :-)

Without. It doesn't fit on my iPhone.
