Has everyone seen this story? Apparently the Superman Tower of Power is supposed to stop 20ft short of the ground after a long freefall (154 ft). For a 13-year-old girl, she ended the ride 2 feet short.

The article says: The ride will remain closed until a full investigation by state officials and “our team of experts” is conducted, McLean said. I’m not sure if she used air-quotes or if CNN does not have a whole lot of confidence in the team of experts. I think they really are experts; how much knowledge does it take to say, “Yup, broken cord. Yup, it’s bloody. Yup, girl lost her feet. Well Jim, I think this here ride’s broken!”

Hopefully the girl wins a few million in lawsuits.
