The main reason I see ANY loose articles as a problem is that people can trip and hurt themselves and then who get blamed? The park does. We live in a sue-happy country where people are willing to sue any company over any little mistake whether it be their fault or not. So personal injury for one.
This is a valid point, but that's why the exit platform should have bins.
You've sort of failed to realise that there are infinite different ways to deal with bags at parks. We're only disagreeing with te fact that charging guests extra is not cool. You've not really shared your opinion on that? Wouldn't you rather they'd provided something like Merlin parks, or had free lockers?
Other reasons like theft. You would be pretty mad if someone stole your flip flops because they liked them better and were just sitting there. Once again, someone gets angry that their stuff was stolen, who gets blamed? The park does. So theft for second.
The park wouldn't get the blame, because items are left at people's own risk.
Plus, who the hell steals flip flops? Just, no. Are you even thinking about this properly?
I've never had anything stolen at a park, and yet I live in a country where petty crime is far higher than the US and have taken bags which are obviously camera bags... Though, I've stopped that, for
fear of theft. At a park like Busch, it's so unlikely. Six Flags? Yeah, maybe. Family park? Chance is so minute it's not even worth discussing.
Rules have been created for reasons, check out the lady who sued over her coffee being hot.
If you want to take this road of argument, then an amusement park shouldn't exist at all for fear of being sued.
Stop being so bloody daft.
