Surprised the park hasn't gone totally bankrupt from the amount of class-action ...

I'm surprised that any insurer would issue a policy for a place like this without doing enough due diligence to see how sketchy it is.

Class action? Who would be in the class other than the family of the deceased?

Anyone else who rode the ride without being harmed has no grounds to sue...

Apparently there were a lot of lesser injuries before this fatality.

Another person got fractured orbital bones and other injuries from the ride. So they probably narrowly avoided being decapitated as well.

According to a news report I read they settled with those folks for $19M

How do you rub some dirt and get over a decapitation?

Maybe if Kansans held each other to higher standards of accountability they wouldn't kill a kid on a water slide.

You don't get a class action from one decapitation. You need to have a large group of people with the same injuries. Those are the people that shrug it off and don't sue.

Based on the data from the National Center for State Courts, there doesn't appear to be much of a correlation between coastal proximity and the rate of civil cases. http://www.ncsc.org/Sitecore/Content/Microsites/PopUp/Home/C...

What are you talking about? They already settled a civil lawsuit for ~20 million with the park and engineering firms very shortly after it happened. This is the criminal case.

Not sure even the Black Knight could get over a decapitation.
