The chance of being killed at an amusement park is one in 750 million. You have more chance dying in a car, using a vending machine, even. Just remember, these are attractions for your enjoyment. Yes, things do go wrong on occasion. But that happens with everything. A lot of the time, the ride stops because it realizes that it could be safer, eg. a lap-bar could be tighter. Heck, most theme-parks close in the winter for maintenance, so that the Health & Safety Executive are convinced that the ride is safe. This often includes taking the trains apart and putting them back together. Rides are tested every single morning to make sure they are safe for standard operation.

You have more chance of crashing 12 times on your way to the park than getting hurt on a rollercoaster. You have more chance getting killed or amputated by a vending machine than getting hurt on a rollercoaster. This ride is amazing and you should ride it. That is an interns fault what happened and he’s never working at a theme park again. It’s not the ride. And if the ride does have a technical error and stops, it’s for your safety. There may be an object that fell out of someone’s pocket and could hurt someone, there could be adverse weather and it will have to stop, or it could be the best reason I think- the sensors being over sensitive. There are sensors in these rides that track the location of the carts. They also detect if there is anything wrong with the rollercoaster. They automatically stop the carts for safety (if you’re on a loop, momentum will send you back round, most of the time). Sometimes, it may be over-sensitive and just stop the ride. That proves that you’re actually, too safe.

As an American who went to Alton Towers around 4 years ago, I haven't felt safer on a roller coaster. That's a big thing for me, as I have a small body frame compared to most. The coasters we have here make me feel like I have too much room, and that I don't have enough restraint. Regardless, though, I still love riding them. I don't remember if this specific ride was there, or if I don't remember seeing it/not having enough time. From doing a lot of research, I do believe the accident that happened was 100% human error. I'll be back in England in a week, and I'm hoping to return to Alton Towers. I'll also be planning on definitely riding this one. Seems like fun.

Ciaran Elliott Probably right, am going there end of July. Will be a shame to miss it as will be my first visit to AT. We will have to see when they find out the root cause and fix it, make it safer and go from there. From what I gather all four injured were sitting in the front row seats, no way their own fault. Hope they recover as best they are able. :) Even if a miracle happens and the ride opens soon then I am still certainly open to riding in the rear seats. I would not be surprised if for the time being the front row seats were off limits, if purely as a safety protocol (though less fun).

I went on this ride yesterday an amazing experience hands down the best ride at Alton towers

It was my first time going to Alton towers. Went for my birthday. Going on the smiler was amazing! Though it was thrilling and scintillating, you could genuinely laugh and have fun while doing like one million loops. Truly an amazing ride! I went back in early August 2019. Still as amazing as it was when I first rid it (: Remember, people... WE BELONG TO THE SMILER

To those people saying they should've waited for the test train to come back: In short they did. Okay, so basically, they don't need to wait until it comes back to the station, as there's no need. The block system automatically checks the ahead blocks to make sure they're empty. They didn't wait for the train to come back as it's illogical and causes a longer wait during a breakdown, which people don't want. Basically, imagine the blocks are like so, with '-' being a block. (Station) - inside section - lift hill - part 1 (crash area) - brake - lift hill 2 and section 2 - brake - - station - If the empty car comes out of the station and is currently on the lift, moving up, and another one is sent, it is perfectly fine as there is a block between the car and the train. Now imagine the empty car has reached the top of the hill, the next one is sent forward, and reaches the top of the lift due to the block brake stopping it, as the empty train has stalled on the track. Now, the engineer reset the ride system and that resulted in the system losing the train on the track, therefore the next train was allowed over, resulting in the crash. Now that you know how these systems work, you realise how illogical it would be with the blocks being there. Rant over

If you understand what restraints are then you should realize that a scenario like that happening is a flat 0%, has never happened, will never happen.

Everyone, just think, the smiler crash was a human error, the ride had nothing to do with it, I experienced the smiler crash, I wasn’t on the ride but I was there.. yes, it has scared me, but I have to remember that things like that happen, but every care has been taken to ensure it won’t happen again. So if you’re a bit unsure about going on it, don’t worry! It’s an amazing ride!
