Man this Dreamworld incident is not cool at all
My family were up there two weeks ago, didn't go to Dreamworld but went to all the other parks, just a horrible event. Felt numb when I heard it was four people
Not sure what makes you say this? Id hazard a guess they are all under the same national compliance and safety regulations. Shows would get checked more often by safety officers than a static place like dreamworld.
I suppose different sorts of risks, static I would think would get less maintanence and less checks where as mobile rides probably have a higher wear rate and more chance of something being put together wrong.

The classes have been both a cathartic and social experience for many of the women who attend.
"It's comforting, there's no decision making, it's easy. I colour before I go to bed, I sleep better." — Lindy Green
"I enjoy colouring because it relaxes me and it just frees my mind ... gives me peace of mind for the rest of the day." — Cynthia Ransford
One Mosman resident, who did not want her name published, said she started colouring after her husband died.
"Adult colouring was one of the things suggested as a stress breaker," she said.
"It's mindless, enjoyable, and at the end you can just sit back and think 'that's rather nice'."
Studies confirm colouring reduces anxiety
A 2015 study from the University of New England found that art-making activities, like colouring, significantly decreased anxiety in college-aged students prior to their exams.
Another study published in the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association in 2012 found that "colouring a mandala reduces anxiety to a significantly greater degree than colouring on a plaid design or colouring on a blank paper".
Currently there are at least 10 adult colouring books listed on the UK's Book Depository best sellers list, while consumer comparison site Finder.com.au has Johanna Basford's Lost Ocean adult colouring book listed as one of the top 10 books for 2016.
Basford's first colouring book, Secret Garden, has sold 11 million copies worldwide.
The Mosman class has recently been colouring Bollywood-themed pictures like floral mandalas and decorative animal figures.
"It's therapeutic for people," Ms Broadbere said.
"We can colour in and it can look terrible, but it's only a piece of paper and you can just throw it away."
Apparently there has been a massive increase in colouring in books for adults.Seriously??

I would love to see a study on the correlation between the reduction in smoking rates and any rise in stress and mental health matters.
who?
I doubt reduced smoking is much of a cause for increased mental health.
Walking the dog and yoga would be better alternatives, agreed.
