If there is a defect in a ride that causes injury, the manufacturer or seller of the ride may be liable under product liability laws. These are strict liability laws that impose responsibility whenever the ride causes harm when used as intended.

This can be proved by his complete lack of respect for roadway laws as he is seen early on by Dr. Armstrong presumably speeding well beyond the limit. ‘One of these young fools who tore round the country. ‘He hated them.
