Let's be honest here. Somebody who completes a basic First Aid course 4 year ago and never puts it into practice is going to be shit at it in an emergency.

It only suggest it because we would expect for the unload to have an E-Stop. " A memo was sent to staff less than a week before the incident advising only to use the second e-stop button if the "main control panel cannot be reached" suggest to me it's quicker to get to the control panel. I would read that as: You go to the main control panel unless for some reason like the control panel area is on fire then you go for the second E-Stop.

For people trying to picture the distance from the unload to @joelE-Stop. I have circled it in red.

For the record, that is 1 person who said that. If you singled them out I would have agreed but your post was open.

Does your 5 sec included jumping the barrier? How much of that 15 mins training do you think was spent on how to shut down the ride in an emergency? Not true @webslave We are talking about it as it comes out. Of course we're not making any final conclusions about it.

What I posted doesn't say it was operators 2 fault because she didn't press the button. Can you post what you are reading that says it was operator 2 fault because she didn't press the button @joel Operators were told "not to worry about that button (the second e-stop) [because] no one uses it." A memo was sent to staff less than a week before the incident advising only to use the second e-stop button if the "main control panel cannot be reached. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody but I believe most people believe DW crap E-stop setup up caused the issues. The use of the E-Stop buttons was ambiguous and gave no clear direction on what to do in an emergency. You should never ask people to make decisions during an emergency. Don’t forget it would not have got to the situation that a button was needed to be pushed if the ride had a water level sensor or a sensor at the end of the lift hill.

@pushbutton Who's joking? You recently renewed your pass would have knowing what you know now?

??????????????????? "A ride operator in her second week on the job has been revealed as the hero who helped save a child's life on the day of the Dreamworld tragedy".

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Do you think anything has changed since 2016?

It's a bit early to be calling it @pushbutton

Yes @Brad2912 That's what we have been saying. The button at the conveyer belt was the button that needed to be pressed to stop it. Operator 1 and operator 2 disagree if operator 2 was told to push this button in an emergency.

I don't know the rules around the stop buttons and by the the sounds of it the 2 operators has 2 different views too.

The second e-stop was installed when the turntable was removed so the unloader could stop the conveyor belt if an issue arrived while unloading passengers. The operator on the control panel had an obstructed view and would often be facing the other way while performing their duties. First the controller had to be alerted before that e-stop would be pushed. It doesn't make sense because the unloader only needs to control the area in which that person oversees. If the unloader is having an issue, then the unloader needs the ability to shut down their area. Not somebody who isn’t giving the unloading area any attention. Look at Parkz photos. Who out of these 2 operators will see an issue unfolding in the unload area first? Who out of these 2 operators will be able to respond the quickest?

@alexutting from the Courier-Mail is tweeting updates from the inquest today.

Maybe a Knock Knock will cheer you up @pushbutton Knock knock Who’s there? Boo Boo who? No need to cry, it’s only a joke.

HaHa

THE builder of the Gold Coast’s latest theme park attraction has told subbies they may only be paid half of their contracts after a financial dispute. Directors from the Brisbane-based construction company Astute Projects Pty Ltd have sent a letter out where they forecast “we can return between 50-60 cents in the dollar to subcontractors” at the $35 million Topgolf project at Oxenford. The payment dispute, which is being monitored by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, does not involve Village Roadshow or the US-based Top Golf. NO Gold Coast Bulletin! TG is not a theme park attraction.

What do they taste like @pushbutton?

This part reads so much better with sound effects.

KFC isn't a theme park and companies that run our park need to start running our parks like theme parks. Theme parks are meant to be fun but if staff are angry and bored you can’t expect them to show a fun attitude towards the guest. If management create a fun and happy environment for staff to work in then the parks won’t have to tell staff how treat guest, it will come naturally.
