I agree with the other guy this is likely just the pedestrian platform, BUT imo never go on rides outside 1st world countries.

Does the US qualify?

Every day from May through September in each year between 1990–2010 had an average of 20 injuries by amusement park guests under 18 years of age that required hospitalization.

Accidents listed here are caused by one of the following:

Negligence on the part of the guest. This can be refusal to follow specific ride safety instructions, or deliberate intent to violate park rules.

The result of a guest's known, or unknown, health issues.

Negligence on the part of the park, either by ride operator or maintenance safety instructions, or deliberate intent to violate park rules

And clicking through the links, they generally add:

Act of God or a generic accident (e.g. slipping and falling), that is not a direct result of an action on anybody's part.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
