One of the girls is in more critical condition than first reported; sad.

Anyone know what happened?
It is what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.

CNN is reporting it as a mechanical flaw, but no details have been cited.

Was reading about the other accident at the water park and of course Ken Martin had his say in that.

Yeah, I've been wondering how the gondola "got caught on the gondola behind it" and tipped upside down?

Rivets holding a trim piece failed, allowing the trim piece to get caught up in the rim or spoke--keeping the gondola from rotating.
