Oohhhh that cut to the quick, I thought I had been intellectualising . :goodnevil
Just think, though...you now know your purpose here. Granted, it is the WDW court jester, but that sure beats a kick in the head.:shrug:

It's always better to be a smarta$$ than a dumba$$.....
Nonsense. The monorail accident was the fault of an engineering services CM saying he did something that he had NOT done and giving the monorail permission to proceed in reverse.
My car has never been involved in three accidents in one week. Has yours?
You number is way off. It is actually closer to 300.Do you own 100+ cars and drive all of them everyday? If not then that comparison is absolutely pointless.:brick:
True. However had the engineering cast member not failed to do his job the accident would not have happened regardless of Disney's policy to move trains in reverse. It was a case of an individual not following proper protocol and another not paying attention to his surroundings.Only partially. If the monorail pilot had been driving forward and NOT overriding the system that indicates that another train is nearby, AS PER DISNEY"S POLICY, the accident would have been prevented. It was a case of efficiency over safety.
Don't you wish you knew that when you were like 13, I know it would've helped me out!:ROFLOL:It's always better to be a smarta$$ than a dumba$$.....
Regardless of which way the train is being operated, the MAPO system is non existent on the switches. Only implementing MAPO to work with the switches would have prevented the system from being overridden. It would also have be better at sensing direction, so that Monorail Purple would not have been shut down and stuck on the beam, but instead able to reverse.Only partially. If the monorail pilot had been driving forward and NOT overriding the system that indicates that another train is nearby, AS PER DISNEY"S POLICY, the accident would have been prevented. It was a case of efficiency over safety.

Ehh, whatcha gonna do...:shrug::lol:I keep investing in the time-machien field, but the returns have been less than stellar.....

No. That was the exact cause of the accident that took place that evening. You can argue about procedures all you want but the fact remains that unless someone did something incredibly stupid (as happened that night) the procedure to travel in reverse would not have caused an accident.That's only the proximate cause of the accident. The ACTUAL cause was a monorail being driven in reverse. If it had been operated properly (i.e., forward) the accident would not have occurred.
Well, considering two of the last three accidents were CAUSED by the actions of Disney bus drivers, your doubt is incorrect. There was obviously something wrong with those two bus drivers.
An accident by it's very definition is caused by someone.
You've never don't something accidentally? Is there something wrong with you?
See your argument holds no water. Just because somebody had an accident does not make them flawed.

Are you really that thick? My comment was directed to a comment that there was nothing wrong with the bus system and that there was nothing wrong with the drivers. Since the two bus drivers in the two separate crashes were CHARGED, then obviously that statement about there being nothing wrong was false. Not to mention the numerous posts from people regarding the wrecklessness of some of the bus drivers. Just because someone has an accident doesn't meant they aren't at fault. Accidents by their nature are caused by carelessness.
