It seems Insurance payments have been made, to the girl that had her leg amputated 7 million
£ is a lot of money, but I bet she would rather have her leg.
Shit that was a nasty , a fun ride turns into a nightmare poor kids they were late teens I no but
still kids in my eyes.:(
That is terrible, but a very good payoff. I know this comment will raise a few eyebrows, but I think many would happily give up a limb for 7 million pounds. You are set for life and in a world where labour is laughed at, you have possibilities. It is a serious amount of money, though Jamie Dimon is probably laughing at me for saying that.
Miles I can see your point, the money will be a great help but a young women losing her leg,!!! youQuote:

One thing is goes to show, no mater how many safety checks things can go wrong, those rides give
people a lot of fun, but when they go wrong shit they were stuck on that ride for 4 hours.
Yes, you are completely right. My post above was a bit strange and was just me thinking 'That's a lot of money'. She could have died and there is no money in that! No, it is very serious.
Alton Towers have handled the situation better than Thomas Cook did. There PR team did it all right by apologising straight away, telling the injured to get legal help and providing support to those effected.
Alton Towers did act in a good manner, they apologized which many large companies don't seem toQuote:

Nothing is 100% safe that is designed, to thrill like theses rides to be honest I shit myself when I
HAVE BEEN ON THEM.
Even with the 7 million , im sure she would rather have had a safe ride and her leg back.
But she at least can use the money and is set for life.
working in a bodily injury department for a motor insurance company I have to admit that I'm extremely shocked that they have payed out that much money, I know that a lot of it comes down to the PR side of things but thats an extremely good pay out, it still doesn't justify the fact that she lost her leg though.
I think that the payout for someone losing their leg from above the knee is around £100k
It is PR and Alton Towers make £1 million a day so they can afford it. Moral of the story is, if you are going to lose a limb, do it there.Quote:
