I remember this one! Read it when I was a kid! Pretty well written for a TV show spin off I seem to recall.
 
Who has read this novel and remembers it? I have a question.
Let's say Sam wouldn't have intervened and prevented the accident. The attraction would have crumbled, people would have died, and according to the original story, Bob Watkins would have been responsible.
But why Bob? Wouldn't it be more logical to detain McFarland since he was the one who designed the attraction and was responsible for safety? Why, according to the original story, did he escape punishment? It would be interesting to read your opinions!
 
It's been a while since I've read this one; but as I recall Bob was responsible for maintenance of the ride. Low-hanging fruit when it comes to placing blame. "He did a poor job of inspecting and maintaining it and that's why it failed," as the accepted reason, rather than digging deeper to the inherent design flaws. They had a scapegoat, no need to look any further.
