So sad. An 8 year old girl fell (or sounds like she was flung) from a Show ride in Adelaide today and has died.

But they are killing people! Innocent people. One of the women killed the other week by the runaway was a 42 year old woman who worked with people unable to care for themselves in their homes. She was on her way from one person to another. She was stationary at the lights!
What's an arrester bed?
That's the cot in the police cells.
Guilty of culpable homicide. Now for the sentence. Has to serve time in gaol. 18 months I'd say.
5 years is the maximum I think. I haven't heard the sentence.
In the post above I should have said "SURELY has to spend time in gaol".
Yes, both times I've been to Cape Town I've had someone meet me. When I was on holidays, my ex's sister met me at the airport and played tour guide for me for a few days. When I was there for work, the people hosting the meeting had arranged for a private airport pickup with a positive ID required. However, I did wander around town on my own during the day. Walked from my hotel, to the meeting location, down to the waterfront. No more hassle than I get in London or NYC. Kept to the hotel, or with colleagues during the evenings though.

The truck passed the arrester bed after the police noticed the smoking brakes and high speed and were watching when he passed it. It's been widely reported he should and could have pulled into the last one but he said the truck was under control.

Police radio transcript:
“I think we’ve located it ... it’s about to pass the last arrester bed, it’s still going with very badly smoking brakes,” they told the Transport Department communications centre.
I drive down this freeway several times a month.
