How many people can sit in that? The DM article says two children were on it but escaped somehow.

Does that mean they were literally thrown out, or their parents(?) threw them out before being flipped underwater.
Come on now. We all know why it's there.

I don't think it's a body / head, it looks more like just part of the track which may have had blood on it.
The bodies look long removed from the scene.
Edit: Ep2006's shot from the other angle confirms it.

I dunno, all these pictures that have one or two coppers standing around casually, if there were still bodies there surely there'd be ambos, crime scene photographers getting evidence, all relevant people working together to get all possible information quickly, so they didn't have to leave the scene like... that.

The word tragedy is thrown around a lot these days by media, but this is an actual tragedy befitting of the word.
Unbelievably tragic.

The media are usually censored from showing anything too gruesome like dead bodies or body parts.
With that MH17 plane crash there were some horrific pictures of charred bodies and body parts on the net if you wanted to find them but you never saw any of that stuff on the mainstream media outlets,
Remember going on this ride in the late 90's, and taking the piss out of a family member, pretending that the escalating conveyor was lifting us up to a drop down like the log ride.
Very Very sad business, that.

On the Australian mainstream media outlets you mean. Thank goodness.
The "diagram" in that article looks totally backwards and it makes no sense.
I found this on reddit

I'm wondering if the one in front of it had something to do with it then

Yeah the initial diagram says 'raft travelling up hill' but there is a video later in the mail article which you can see the raft travelling down the hill towards the same area in the pictures.
The reddit diagram is correct. You can see in the video above that they come down into that section where the raft has flipped.
In that video it looks like you can see the conveyer belt as it rotates back underneath.
Absolutely shocking... Heart wrenching that the children had to witness and be apart of that. You just have to hope for those poor souls that it was over quickly.

Shocking news. Hope the kids get as much love and care as they can.
Everyone is an engineer in this thread

You can only hope that maybe, the children were stuck in their seats and couldn't see what was happening. Hearing would be traumatic enough, let alone the visuals.
Diagram is incorrect. Another reason mainstream media is BS. Factless and they think they are experts.
