Deaths at Dreamworld

Very hard to single out someone in these cases. A CEO isn't necessarily inspecting rides and writing policy. There are maintenance teams and safety teams in place.

Sure they report to Operations Managers who report to the CEO and the right systems should show sign offs on every issue and demonstrate where in the chain things break down.

There will be multiple people at fault here but wilful negligence by a single person ... very difficult to prove.

A memo to say don't use the e-stop though, who approved that? What alternatives were put in place and how was the info disseminated? That's the big issue. Bypassing a safety control ... you'd want to have a very good reason.

Doesn't stop the CEO taking the credit (and bonuses) for success. In cases of criminal negligence, the buck often has to stop with the boss. If it can be proven they were aware of the issues and didn't put in the measures to fix them, jail time is appropriate.

Was speaking to a friend working closely with it and the detail of the 2 that went into the machinery is brutal.

I would imagine they turned into ground meat.

"[Luke Dorsett] was on the up side of the raft … and it was only after several violent shakes of the raft that his Velcro strap came apart and he fell onto the conveyor?" Mr Whybrow asked.

"Yes," Senior Constable Cornish replied.

"If his restraint had been one of which was able to hold him, what would have been the outcome for him?"

"He would not have fallen in."

Talk about a ****ing horrible way to die.

Was up there earlier this year, not surprised by some of the stuff that's come out, we had a fun time but we stayed away from a lot of the big rides being with a young kid

to be fair they have upped the safety majorly. One of the rides was out of action for months while they replaced everything on it.

The two operators have effectively thrown their boses under a bus.

Dreamworld staff telling the junior operator not to speak to police after the incident. Whoever said that was an idiot.
