And it just passed inspection!?! Someone is very responsible for this tragedy.

Several 'someones', I say. There were multiple inspectors who signed off on that ride the very morning of this event.

Tragic.I don't trust those random rides. If it isn't 6Flags or Disney (read: more regular maintenance), I ain't ridin'.

If anyone cared to read the article - it rotted from inside the beam and without ultrasound testing a visual inspection would miss it.

Ride broke off at the bottom of the swing, which is where positive G-forces are highest - which could "in theory" break that failing beam.

"Excessive corrosion" sounds like something that could be seen with the human eye during a simple inspection

It was interior, not visible without special tools

Nope. Its a sign from God that rides should be banned. Fact.

Makes you wonder how skilled the inspectors are or if they even bothered to do their best.

that implies a lack of review and cleaning.. if elbow grease had been applied against that corrosion, there might be no dead..

We live in a country where profit out ranks all else. Look around, think. Nothing is what it appears. Or worth what it costs.

Maybe the ones who inspected it should be charged.
