An 11-year-old girl on a school trip died after she fell from a water ride at a UK theme park, local police have confirmed. The incident happened at the Splash Canyon ride at Drayton Manor theme park, north of Birmingham, Staffordshire Police said.
Bryan added that staff were alerted when the girl fell into the water. "The theme park staff tried to help her and an air ambulance airlifted her to a hospital nearby," he said. The girl, a student at the Jameah Academy in Leicester, was on a school visit to the park when the incident occurred. The school released a statement confirming that the year 6 student had died. The park would remain closed Wednesday "as a mark of respect to the family," a statement on the park's Facebook page said. It did not specify how long the ride in question would be suspended.

Questions
1. Do you think it was the park staff careless that the girl fell? And why?
2. Was it enough punishment for the ride to be suspended? why and why not?
3. Would you take a child to this park to ride a water ride?
I think It was the staff careless because they have to make sure that the girl was in a good secured positioned before making her ride the thingy, and after all she was so little she needed much attention towards her. I think it was enough punishment for the ride to be suspended because they feel bad about it and they have learnt their lesson considering the accident. The staffs in to be more extra careful to kids. I won't take a child to ride it again.
Replies
I kinda agree with the part that you said all rides have faults, but I don't agree that it's people fault taking their kids to the park, well parents take their kids to the park to enjoy so if you are the owner or an employer over there, do the work nicely.
I think that the park staff could have been watching the kids and people at the park a lot more closer. If they were watching this girl closer, I don't think that this accident would have happened. I think that the ride needs to be taken down after someone had died on that ride before.
Yes, I completely agree with you that they need to take the ride out from there as even if they fixed, we don't know if it will kill another person or not. The best solution is get the ride out from there.
