What mainstream coverage doesn't want to get into about the Six Flags death is that both recent high profile cases of a rider being insufficiently restrained and ejected from a vehicle involved riders who were morbidly obese and black. It will likely come out that the ride was mechanically sound but the restraints were not secured or could not in their position contain a heavy, flexible body when subjected to ride forces. I could find no cases in the past 15 years or so of a mechanical failure being the cause of a rider being thrown from a vehicle. One parallel trend that Steve Sailer has emphasized is how post 2020, traffic fatalities surged, particularly for blacks. This came after a steep drop in police enforcement of technical violations, speeding, and even reduced DUI arrests. The new social discomfort about being confrontational with blacks over non-violent crimes created a lawless environment and ultimately more deaths. For a low wage park employee, having to scrutinize a fat guest's restraints, or confront a guest to throw them off the ride, can be highly embarrassing or risk a confrontation. As we know, black people can be loud and indignant about being refused service, and it is considered socially unacceptable to call out a fat black person. Workers have to weight every confrontation with the possibility of becoming the subject of a viral video and fired for insensitivity. It is probably relevant that the only other recent case of a rider being thrown from a ride, in 2011, involved a double-amputee war veteran, who was allowed to ride despite the posted rules. This person can similarly be viewed as a protected class that one is expected to be deferential to, particularly around that time. So it's plausible that post 2020 America has difficulty enforcing safety rules in a uniform manner, unless we staff parks with hardened security guards who ruthlessly refuse service to guests who don't fit in a ride's safety parameters. Since this is unlikely to happen, it's possible we'll just lose certain types of public attraction for everyone.
