nebulousmuse- I like your response. I prefer to think that it's the media coverage that's excessive, rather than the accidents- even though in my book (and I'm sure the loved ones' families) one accident is excessive. Although, don't you think we're a bit over the average?
Which means: NO MORE AMUSEMENT PARK ACCIDENTS ALLOWED!
I'd also like to make a correction to my previous post: it looks as if the first roller coaster PATENT was approved on AUGUST 18, NOT AUGUST 26. Which of course makes my birthday meaningless.
Okay, not really.
But ironically, realizing that I could be getting caught up in a media frenzy is forcing me to calm down.

]]>Hummm...
But what if it was something else like a hot Nordic blond, probably my reaction
would be different... LOL
But they are “space sirens” must be aware to not fall into their deadly “chant”.
Just some loose thoughts from a sleepy guy...
They protect because there were a third thing doing mess, so they act as a balance,
now the “demons” are removed and so are they...
Or
We were babies and needed guidance, now we are “smart” and can do by our own...
Anyway things are getting worse.
Ok, I got the answer, they got fired because this world is a mess! LOL

]]>NEW YORK (AP) -- An amusement park worker was thrown off a gyrating ride and killed, and park officials acknowledged Saturday that a safety precaution put in place after a fatal accident on the ride in 2004 wasn't followed.
Gabriela Garin, 21, of White Plains, New York, was killed Friday night after fastening some late-arriving riders into their seats on the Mind Scrambler, the same ride where a 7-year-old girl was killed three years ago at the landmark Playland Amusement Park in Rye. The ride was immediately shut down for the rest of the summer.
It was the fourth fatality at the park in just over three years.
Garin was operating the ride, a spider-arm-style attraction that spins riders around in two-seat cars, park spokesman Peter Tartaglia said. She had changed shifts with a new ride operator but stayed to take on a few new passengers before leaving for the night, he said.
The woman told the operator she would fasten the last riders into the car, and the new operator, whose name wasn't immediately available, stepped into a booth and started the ride, Tartaglia said.
He looked up, noticed Garin still on the ride and shut it down 15 to 20 seconds after it began, Tartaglia said. But Garin, who started working at the park when she was 14, already had been thrown from it, he said.
Garin was "a very conscientious worker," Tartaglia said.
Emergency workers responded quickly, "but there wasn't very much anybody could do for her," Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O'Leary said. Garin was pronounced dead at the scene around 9:30 p.m., he said.
The attraction, in a darkened tent with flashing lights, was the scene of another deadly accident May 22, 2004. Stephanie Dieudonne, 7, wriggled free of the restraining bar on one of the cars, knelt on the seat and fell soon after the ride started, according to investigators.
The amusement park was not cited for any violations or required to make improvements to the ride after the girl's death, but officials announced plans to add seat belts, more lighting and a second attendant.
In 2005, a 7-year-old boy was killed when he climbed out of his boat ride and fell, investigators said. A 43-year-old man drowned after wading into a lake on July 4, 2006, at the county-owned Playland, a National Historic Landmark that opened in 1928.
Playland is on Long Island Sound, about 25 miles north of midtown Manhattan. Featuring more than 50 rides, a pool and a beach, it draws more than 1 million visitors a year.

This particular section might also tie in with the other thread that's currently going about guys flipping out and killing their families. And another section, called "Eyes Searching/Transportation Accidents" ties into a thread I started about 2 years ago about the rise of train accidents/derailments. The "Eyes Searching" section says: Plane crashes increase, Shipping disasters increase, Higher incidents of train derailments/accidents.
No-Eyes took Mary on an out of body journey and showed her various events to come, and one of them was witnessing catastrophe at an amusement park, an example of what would be one of many. Another involved this delivery guy who looked happy and normal on the surface, entering into a home, whistling, only to leave behind a dead family. And then another woman who killed herself and her kids. Examples of this sort of either sociopathic and/or mentally ill behavior being on the rise during these times.
The explanation given for why the increase in accidents and murders and mayhem was that "The Watchers" were pulling back in their protection of us. No-Eyes explained that were it not for The Watchers and their constant intervention in human affairs there would have been tons more mishaps, accidents, maimings and deaths throughout modern times. But that basically something has changed in their attitude, and they're pulling back, and want people to start using their intuition and internal guidance to be more alert and in tune and aware.....basically, start helping ourselves instead of being babies that always need intervention because we race through life, completely cut off from the planet, everybody around us, and our selves, focused on things that don't matter.

But wasn't it just last week that a girl got her feet caught on a ride, and only a month ago when a ride at one of the Disney parks had injuries? If this is a trend, how or why is this happening? It's almost enough to make me glad the amusement park that's been in my town for 40 years has closed down just as I moved within walking distance of it. Just *almost,* though. I'm still a little bitter about that.
