Yes, as a parent you need to be vigilant and ensure that your children are safe at all levels. The person who neglected their duty hopefully will most certainly be reprimanded for their neglect to this child. Very neglectful and a lack of duty of care for people.

Wow! That is unacceptable- they are meant to check all of that before commencing.

Oh my goodness that is very concerning !!!

Even with the harnesses, these rides are frightening. This would have scared me senseless. Thank goodness people noticed.

Absolutely scary! This could’ve gone so wrong so fast

This is such a nightmare. It could have ended so badly. My goodness that was so so dangerous. Thank goodness the boy was ok.

I am just wondering how a 4 yr old was allowed on the ride in the first place and what was the mother thinking.

Oh my goodness, seeing that photo made my palms sweat!!!
That’s so scary and horrible. Can’t even imagine being that child’s parents and seeing that.
My kids went last weekend but not on any rides like this thank goodness.

Are people just not playing it safe with these types of rides any more? It’ll end up ruining rides for future generations at this rate. Everything will end up being deemed unsafe because of simple lack of safety checks prior

Scary for Mum and everyone watching, of course, but the positive is, he is ok, thank God

Could have born a horrible tragedy, I’m so so glad he Is safe.

Very frightening – and so obvious that it’s scary the operator didn’t see it.

I can’t understand how things like this happen nowadays with so many auto & manual safety checks supposedly place.

What’s happening? Too much death lately in theme parks.

This is horrible and unacceptable, I’d be horrified.

Holy crap that’s terrifying! That could have gone so badly, thank goodness the kid is ok.

That’s unbelievable. Something like that shouldn’t happen. Glad the boy is okay.

Oh my gosh! This is a total nightmare!! Glad he is ok
