Oh I will I will have to find out what I need to pay attention to. Their has to be some type of activity considering three people,e died on the mindbender in the 1980’s
Mwa Ha Ha (You're not actually anywhere near this ride are you?)

This is from Wikipedia:

"On the evening of June 14, 1986, the fourth car of the yellow train derailed before encountering the third and final loop. The train failed to clear the loop and slid backwards fishtailing wildly and crashing into a concrete pillar. Damage from the derailment caused the lap bars to disengage at some point during the ride, throwing its four passengers at least 25 feet (7.6 m) to the floor below. Three passengers died in the incident, while a fourth was critically injured. About 19 others were treated for less severe injuries at the nearby Misericordia Community Hospital. An investigation determined that bolts on the left wheel assembly worked loose causing the accident, and that design flaws by Schwarzkopf along with a lack of maintenance by the mall were likely to blame"

Here is a fact for you, everyone on the island of Iceland is descendent from eight Vikings and four Irish women.
Apparently it's enough of a problem that there's now "an app for that". :)

"Three engineers made an app for the ‘Íslendingabók‘ database. People can now easily, and on the go, look up how they are related to other Icelanders. And a precious feature, using the bump technology, allows people that meet to just bump their phones together, to instantly see if they are too related to take things any further. The engineers’ slogan for this feature was: “Bump the app before you bump in bed”.
