six flags is no stranger to horrible accidents. and I do not see any fines against them making things safer. just to give a frame of reference, six flags has had a tradition of accidents on unsafe rides, here are two examples I remember from when I was younger. And I am sure many other amusement parks, carnivals and fairs have also had there share in accidents.
Back in the 70's or early 80's (I cannot remember the year) At the New Jersey six flags, a fire broke out in the Haunted House ride and killed about 10 kids. the haunted house was closed for a few years after that.
THen again right after the Freefall ride was opened. (thats the ride where it goes strait up and then just drops you) a girl was decapitated due to her hair getting caught on the way down.
