A person would think these rides that leave the ground should be inspected like an aircraft. That being said, it would be interesting to see what kind of PM inspections are actually due and completed on these. You'd think at least once a year or so many ride cycles they should be torn down inspected for wear and rust, re bushed, and reassembled? Apparently not in this case.
