This makes me think of Action Park in Vernon NJ. That would make a great episode.

Memo

LET'S GOOO

Jessica Snow

Been wondering if this would be an episode!

Acon Cernczyn

I cannot wait to slide into this.

I look forward to each new investigation. Don't get me wrong, this is HEARTBREAKING. I work in a regulated industry ... No one should lose their life just having fun. Keep calling this stuff out.

Nathan Hamler

Can't believe you covered the Orlando freefall incident already!! That's like weeks old!! You been working hard!! 👍🏻🍻

Miz Mak

Yep. Never having kids!!!

RandomDeathMetaller

I'd be more interested in riding it knowing someone died on it, just another selling point for me. Feel bad for the kid though.

Don't have 'em unless you're absolutely sure you want them. Having kids is not all it's cracked up to be, but few will tell you the truth about that. I'm glad mine are grown now -- much easier that way!

Michelle Hebert

"You might want to clean up the drool a bit." 🤣 Those dry ACC barbs really crack me up.

Michelle Hebert

Wonder how much that crooked judge was paid to dismiss the well-deserved charges?

Alan

Such a great job ACC and deformr on an absolutely powerful episode. The juxtaposition of the first case (and so recent!) with the second really stood out; if a lawmaker can't get them to be accountable under the law what chance do the rest of us have? Just another body broken under the no-fault wheel of capitalism.

Jasan Klepp

Another great episode Cannot imagine how traumatized the adult survivors of that raft must have been

John-Paul Mackey

What a horrible tragedy, but I’m SHOCKED at the ending. 😳

Melissa Vizza

Fantastic job on this episode. Such a terrible and preventable accident. RIP Caleb.

MetalMatt

Hey ACC, I don't remember, have you ever covered that asshat, "Phil Knight", The Nike founder, he's probably too easy of a target.. just wondering. 🤘🤘

MetalMatt

You're the bestest!! Thanks brother..

Nathan de Rover

I’m kind of disappointed that you didn’t mention how the representative settled for a $20 million payment. But he had to sue in Texas because he had voted for a law that passed in Kansas severely limiting damage claims against companies. Just another great example of the “justice for me, but not for thee” mindset of politicians. Maybe for an update podcast in the future.

Camryn Berk

Ugh, this is so tragic and hard to listen to (in a good way if that’s possible). I’m so sad for these families.

Victoria Corka

I try hard not to be misanthropic but all the people grifting in the first story makes it difficult

Laney

Just saw an article last night talking about the prelude, new info came out and it was discovered that a worker adjusted the safety harness past the allowed standards, in order to cater to larger passengers. I think it was done to 2 seats, one being the kids. The rest hadn’t been adjusted, so not only was he too big for the ride, someone manually adjusted the seat restraints to be DOUBLE the width, which couldve opened even more with the added weight, making an even bigger gap which he slipped through. fucking tragic.

Me too. Fortunately, there are people in my life that I like, respect, and love. But on the whole, I freaking hate the human race. We are the WORST species and I despise people who contribute to the overpopulation of this planet by having more than two kids.

Pleas please follow up on the prelude once it’s complete. I didn’t watch the fall but I watched before the ride went up, watched it go up. and listened to the employee’s afterwards. So much went wrong before and after.

Should be no surprise that Scott Schwab is a republican. I wonder if he would have cared at all about increasing regulations on amusement parks if his own child wasn't killed. How anyone in their right mind honestly believes that self-regulation does anything is beyond me. Engineering, environmental, consumer goods, and food production regulations have existed since before the middle ages, because governments understood that you cannot trust people, or the market for that matter, to regulate themselves.

Amie Redman

Is this one broken? It will not let me listen to it!
