Since the Smiler has been trending on different platforms and some new fans are spreading misinformation about the 2015 crash, so here is the correct information:
Incident Overview:
June 2nd, 2015, the Smiler roller coaster at Alton Towers crashed, resulting in severe injuries to riders, including two teenagers losing their legs.
Operating Conditions:
The park was unusually busy with high wind speeds exceeding safety limits set by the manufacturer.
Technical Difficulties:
At 1 pm, the Smiler experienced technical issues, prompting closure for maintenance.
Safety Oversight:
During maintenance, a fifth train was added without informing the maintenance team, breaching safety protocols.
Faulty Procedure:
Despite high winds, the empty fifth train was sent without water dummies for weight, causing it to roll back and stall.
Miscommunication:
Maintenance incorrectly assumed a "ghost train" triggered a safety mechanism, leading to an override.
Collision and Injuries:
The overridden safety mechanism led to a collision between the stalled empty train and a fully loaded one, resulting in injuries to all riders.
Responsibility and Fines:
Investigations attributed fault to both ride operations and maintenance teams, with Alton Towers receiving the majority of blame. The park was fined five million pounds.
Safety Improvements:
Post-incident, enhanced safety measures were implemented, including more CCTV, revised staff training, and the prevention of override unless by senior engineers.
Preventative Measures:
Gerslauer, the manufacturer, introduced features to prevent operation during high winds, ensuring a similar incident would be impossible, enhancing safety across the industry.
