Once again, another parent blaming someone else for not supervising their child. The kid met the height requirement. The mother allowed her child to ride the ride without checking it out HERSELF to question if it was safe or not. How is it the amusement park's responsibility to have told the mom it may be a questionable ride for her child. Are they expected to tell everyone in line? That won't accomplish anything. That just makes them want to ride it more. Also, what did the kid do to cause himself to fall out of the boat? Stand up? Horseplay? You know if there's a height requirement for a ride, then there's some degree of questionnable safety. Why wasn't mom riding the ride with the kid? Probably didn't want to be bothered with it, and was being selfish because she wanted to do something else. She put herself first in front of the child. See a pattern here? The defense mechanism for that is to blame someone else for her selfishness. If I'm the judge, CASE CLOSED!! Why would you allow your seven year old to ride a ride without the parent, when it had a height requirement. GET A CLUE LADY!!
