Dubious roller coaster accident stories are a great example of the media fearmongering about objectively small numbers, bc they all cite the stats that 1,200 people A YEAR are injured at theme parks. Isn't that scary? Omg, 1,200 is so many!

Anyway over 100 million people went to theme parks in the US during that period. 1,200 injuries per 100 million people...is extremely good actually. Like, almost unbelievably safe. And only a little above 100 of those are serious injuries, so most of that number is bruises and scrapes and the like.

I found a Newsweek article when looking up uses of that stat, and it lists "horrifying theme park tragedies". It maps them even. The map goes from mid-2024 to 1980, bc nothing says "widespread phenomenon that happens all the time" like having to go back forty-four years to find enough examples.

The examples of Horrifying Tragedies at these Unsafe Rides include:

Someone jumping a fence and entering a restricted area that was labeled as a restricted area. Actually, it includes five stories of people injured or killed when they entered a fenced-off area clearly labeled as dangerous and off-limits

People stuck on rides. This gets reported a lot as a terrifying malfunction & a sign the ride's not safe, but a ride stopping is a sign that the safety features are *working*, bc that's a failsafe in case something goes wrong. It's like crumple zones on cars: it may look scary, but the alternative is much, much worse

Injuries incurred when a guest's e-cig exploded on a ride

A death from a pre-existing heart condition. Actually, two

Someone who lost their balance on a ride bc of the actions of another guest

Someone who removed their own restraints on a ride and stood up while it was in motion

A few actual accidents caused by error, mostly at obscure parks and/or decades ago, before states had stricter regulations

Masterclass in framing: using several stories about people who were only injured when they knowingly tried breaking all the safety protocols to claim safety protocols don't work. Theme parks can't psychically detect if someone has an undiagnosed heart defect, how can anyone ever go to one again??? Oddly enough it doesn't include the number of people killed or injured driving to and from the parks, even though the number is surely higher, given there's over a million car accident deaths every year

I’m having really angsty thoughts about this now. I also have no clue if it’s canon. We are making AUs of our AUs at this point.

—

At first I was trying to think of how/why baby Sunrazor got into the pits and then I remembered that I made it so if any working model is seen as defective then they would be thrown into an arena to get rid of them.

So… Sunrazor is not the only sparkling in the pits.

The twins would know this. They would know that like all of the other sparklings sent in she’s here to die. And if she’s not killed by a gladiator or smth then it’s very possible that whatever’s wrong with her will. And if they figure out that she’s a guardian there’s an additional layer of she’s screwed because Guardians die fast in arenas.

(They can’t turn off their sensors. They can handle crowds when they are working and stuff. But an arena is built to amplify noise, it’s like that to get the gladiators worked up. The crowds in arenas are also typically violent enough that a gladiators threat detection would label them as people to keep an eye on. So if they aren’t overwhelmed upon being shoved out on the arena floor they are already beating expectations.

And then they don’t have stamina like gladiators do. They are stronger than gladiators and can take more of a beating than them. But if they aren’t able to finish the match within the first couple of minutes then they are dead. They were not built for gladiator matches at all.)

It would make sense for the twins to try and get Comet to leave her.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker would definitely feel like they are in the right. They are protecting Comet from unnecessary pain. Gladiators don’t handle losing attachments well, I mean look at Dropmix. Theremin died and he had like a midlife crisis then proceeded to torture and disfigure people so he could get a shot at revenge.

If Comet gets attached and Sunrazor dies he could make stupid decisions and get himself killed. Or the twins killed. They are old enough to understand that now.

Don’t get attached to it. It’s going to die anyway.

So yeah… just some thoughts…. Nothing really important lol

Oh I love all of this!!!

It makes sense, it makes perfect sense. In my head Com just grabs her. Like split second snatches her up. The twins get word and they immediately go into threat mode.

That argument of "Its going to die anyway" is amazing. Them being scared for how it would affect Comet and maybe get them all killed is the direction I was kinda going but your idea definitely cements it.

The details of them getting rid of something defective, that is literally perfect for this how did I not remember. The idea of them just culling younglings, ugh that's horrible. But that would also make sense for poor comet when he gets thrown in. No one cares because things that look like literal children die in the arena all the time. That's why I made Sunny use "it" when talking about Sunrazor, he doesn't want to even acknowledge her as a living thing.

That does make me think of why Sunstreaker would decide to let Comet live, since he has so much blood on his hands already why would he hesitate??

I feel like that would be Comets argument, "I was on the slaughter block, you were my executioner! What makes me any different than them?!" Cue the twins trying to NOT think of Comet suffering before they could protect him.

Maybe their argument would be Comet had already survived and won one match, this kid wouldn't survive her first.

"Why would anyone have to EARN the right to live?!"

"Why do we have to gut and tear out sparks to live Com!?? Why are we monsters??! Life isn't fragging fair that's why."

UGH I love your thoughts, never hesitate to send them to me please.

Thought I may plop this sketch here for how Comet may look in this Au of an Au (I blame the worms for all this) He still looks funny but I thought you may be curious. (his tail is supposed to be sorta like what he had in his Base form, still a rough idea)

Testing and Quality Control in Wire Rope Production

In industries like construction, mining, elevators, shipping, and oil & gas, wire ropes are critical for lifting, pulling, and supporting heavy loads. Their strength and durability directly impact the safety and efficiency of operations. That’s why testing and quality control form the backbone of every reputable wire rope manufacturing process.

A rope that doesn’t meet the required quality standards can lead to serious accidents, equipment damage, and unexpected downtime. To avoid such risks, every step in the production of wire ropes is carefully monitored and tested to ensure the final product performs reliably in demanding environments.

Why Testing and Quality Control Matter in Wire Rope Manufacturing

Wire ropes must withstand constant stress, tension, bending, and twisting during their service life. Even the smallest flaw in manufacturing can cause the rope to fail when it matters most. For this reason, quality checks are built into every stage of wire rope manufacturing to ensure:

Strength and durability under load

Resistance to fatigue from repeated bending

Corrosion protection in harsh environments

Consistent performance across all products

A trusted wire rope manufacturer knows that compromising on these aspects can lead to safety hazards and costly failures in real-world applications.

Key Stages of Quality Control in Wire Rope Production

1. Raw Material Testing

Before any production begins, steel wires are checked for their chemical composition and mechanical properties. The steel used must meet strict standards to ensure the finished rope will be strong, flexible, and corrosion-resistant.

2. Wire Drawing Quality Checks

During wire drawing—the process that reduces steel rods to fine wires—the material is inspected for:

Diameter accuracy

Surface smoothness

Uniform tensile strength

These checks help prevent weaknesses that could develop into serious faults later in the rope's service life.

3. Stranding and Closing Inspections

The next stage involves twisting individual wires into strands and assembling those strands around a core. Throughout this process, the lay length, tension balance, and strand integrity are all carefully monitored.

A professional wire rope manufacturer ensures that these parameters are within specification so that the rope performs reliably without twisting or unraveling during use.

4. Visual and Dimensional Inspection

Finished ropes are inspected for:

Correct diameter and roundness

Surface cleanliness and freedom from defects like nicks or broken wires

These visual inspections catch issues that machines may overlook but can impact real-world performance.

5. Mechanical Performance Testing

Some ropes undergo rigorous mechanical testing to verify:

Breaking load capacity

Bending fatigue resistance

Torsional strength

These destructive tests help confirm that the design and manufacturing processes have produced ropes that meet the required safety and durability standards.

6. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-destructive methods like magnetic particle inspection and ultrasonic testing are used to detect internal flaws without damaging the rope. This allows for full inspection of production batches without wasting usable product.

7. Lubrication and Corrosion Resistance Checks

Wire ropes are treated with lubricants during manufacturing to reduce friction and protect against corrosion. Quality control teams check that these coatings are evenly applied and meet environmental protection standards.

8. Packaging and Final Inspection

Before ropes are shipped out, they undergo final checks to ensure proper labeling, documentation, and safe packaging for transport. Any deviation in these final steps can compromise the rope's integrity before it even reaches the customer.

Choosing the Right Wire Rope Manufacturer Matters

All these testing and quality control processes underline one important fact: wire rope manufacturing is as much about precision and safety as it is about production volume. When you select a dependable wire rope manufacturer, you are choosing a partner that prioritizes:

Consistent product quality

Compliance with international standards

Long-lasting performance

Safety for your equipment and workforce

Never compromise when it comes to wire ropes—the right manufacturer will ensure every product meets the highest expectations.

Conclusion

Wire ropes are silent workhorses in countless industries, and their failure is not an option. Testing and quality control in wire rope manufacturing are crucial to guarantee that these essential components can handle the stresses and conditions they will face.

Whether your need is for lifting, pulling, or support, always source products from a reliable wire rope manufacturer committed to thorough testing and uncompromising quality standards. Your project’s safety and success depend on it.
