@TheAllMemeingEye really quickly off the top of my head:
Rachel Reeve's questionable CV.
Starmer hostage-sausage misspeak.
Labour proposing to pay their top government advisor (non-elected) more than Starmer.
I probably wouldn't count the following things because they never really "caught on" (i.e., never led to extended media and social media coverage, debate in parliament, cross-party criticism etc.:
@TheAllMemeingEye Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had a semi-scandal in January after calling a political opponent a "twofer" (defined by dictionary.com as "Disparaging. a person who belongs to two minority groups and can satisfy two quotas or appeal to two political constituencies, especially a Black woman who can be counted twice in a position she holds, as fulfilling a racial and a sexual quota."). Some would say that in context it was obviously not intended to be understood as a slur. Does it count as a racial slur for this market?
@PoliticalEconomyPK Someone entering restricted area and being hit doesn't sound like ride failure to me. Negligence in inadequate signage might be possible but stupidly ignoring warning signs might also be possible?
@ChristopherRandles yeah this seems to be a personal mistake not an error or negligence on the park afaik
@strutheo
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
In August 2024, two people died at Busch Gardens Williamsburg:
A 63-year-old employee was struck in the head by a roller coaster train while attempting to uncover a camera. The employee died from his injuries the following day.
A seasonal contractor was killed when the high-reach vehicle he was on overturned while painting the Big Bad Wolf.
Employee here seems similar to guest entering restricted area to recover keys.
Contractor painting ride also does not seem like ride failure, Negligence in setting up high reach vehicle might be possible, but would that result in yes resolution as it seems unrelated to ride operation/equipment and negligence could well be by contractor not by park?
@strutheo the answer says negligence. It doesn't specify on whose part. This is a clear yes afaik. The fact that an unauthorized person could get inside a restricted area is negligence enough on part of the theme park
@PoliticalEconomyPK What is your evidence it is negligence?
Why is it not possible for the situation to be that the theme park had taken reasonable precautions to keep area secure and had adequate warning signs but the guest was just determined enough to retrieve keys that he ignored warnings and didn't take enough care?
eg climbed over a high enough fence with keep out warning signs. Would you say it was negligence not to have extra measures like razor wire on top of fence?
@ChristopherRandles all im saying is that its not entirely clear negligence on whose part? From the question above and I quote "at least one equipment caused death at a theme park in the USA due to ride failure, negligence, or other similar cause (not: pool drowning, natural disasters , medical, or forced violence)“ in this the word negligence does not specify that it has to be on part of the theme park. The person who died obviously was clearly negligent
@ChristopherRandles as for the negligence by the theme park, that too is not actually very thoroughly investigated. This incident infact went under the radar of most mainstream media. I did see some people's post on social media sharing their condolences with the family of the person who died, but I'm not entirely sure if his family blames the theme park for negligence
@ChristopherRandles a person did die that is 100 percent correct and riding equipment was involved in his death
