Then I guess I better watch my aberrant behavior. I don't want to be escorted to the front gate... wait, Knoebel's doesn't HAVE a front gate. Oh well, maybe they'd make me stand up against the Loaf building for punishment. *** Edited 9/28/2005 7:02:02 PM UTC by RatherGoodBear***

What a load of horse hockey!

I had never heard of this group until this thread, so I spent about 30 minutes on their web site. What fun!! One of the last things I looked at was the picture of Jason, and to my surprise, he is an adult. From the look and text of the site, I was expecting it to have been written by a government agency or a group of public school third graders. I find it hard to believe that anyone would take this group serious.

But therein lies the problem. Someone will take them serious. This is exactly the type of organization the news media and the vast majority of the general public that they have brainwashed likes to plaster all over the television screen and the front page as an expert. My fear is that some twenty-something, pimple faced buttwipe, who hasn't had sex with someone else in the same room since the 7th grade sleep-over at his cousin Ralphie's house, will team up with a brain dead news anchor who has a decimal point in front of her IQ score out looking for the next "if it bleeds, it leads" story, and the next thing you know, some snotty-nosed brat who got a brain freeze from eating a $7.95 ice cream cone while riding the Dancing Dolphin Extreme kiddie ride at Kaptain Krusty's Kangaroo Korral has had a near death experiance. The story gets played at 6 and 10 everyday for three and a half weeks, mommy and daddy refuse to take Billy, Bobby and Betty to the park in fear that one of their demonic little angels might get a boo-boo or a paper cut while on one of the evil park's death machines. No one is willing or able to check the facts of the story, attendance and revenue drop by 38.69%, and we don't get our new coaster the next summer.

Enough of that rant. If anyone happens to see one of the ASO ivestagative reporters at Holiday World this weekend, see if you can get them to take a ride on the Voyage to check it for safety issues. Based on the newest pictures on the Blog, my guess is coming down that first drop at 60+ MPH and hitting that streatch of unfinished track should put them somewhere about the middle of Lake Rudolph. *** Edited 9/28/2005 7:20:42 PM UTC by Kraven the Raven***

Oh man. This should be good. I think.

Since ASO sounds like, well, like it sounds. I really don't think I want to see Moosh @PPP!

No offense Moosh. :)

Sometimes I'm glad I don't read every single thread on this forum... sometimes I am happy that I am mostly a lurker and only occasionally a poster...

This is one of those times. :)

Hail Buzzers,

If you really wanted to make your little company big, and everyone else at CAC was being safe ...

maybe the only way they could get "unsafe safety data" was to create it themselves...

the upcoming weeks could be interesting

^We could always answer our cell phones while going up the lift hills on coasters like a lot of other people do, GP AND enthusiasts. Or we could start smoking in line or better yet, just cut in line.

I am kidding of course. :-)

It happens more than you think. Scary.

Yeah, but can I cut in line with my cell phone and then smoke on the coaster?

Only if your cell phone has video capability and you sit in the front row and transmit a POV live and direct to Mr. Herrera.

Hehehehe...

As am EMT-B I thought that ASO's "Injury Terminology" Found here http://www.amusementsafety.org/injurya-h.htm looked quite familiar (specifically the wording).

After a Single google search, I found this link as the 2nd search result. http://www.emtb.com/glossary/ Notice that any word one can look up on the ASO's Website has the same word-for-word definition.. completely unattributed!

I could be wrong, but It appears that ASO "borrowed" their definitions from either an "Emergency" Textbook or directly from this website. Apparently ASO did not use every term listed on the Emergency site, but they did use quite a few.

Also, The title of the page says "ASO - Safety Injury Terminology" without attributing anything to "Emergency" or the original authors. What is the word for this? Oh yes! plagiarism
