Details: The other week I found an in-depth article on a fatal 1997 accident involving the failure of an Octopus ride. The article appears in the "Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention".

The journal & the report are copyrighted and I had to do a lot of permission requesting. With some success, I got permission to place it on the LTC website.

You can view the report online by clicking on the following link, then clicking the PDF icon in the right-hand column. For information on the "Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention", click the text link in the left-hand column.
