The state of Kansas, it is thought, never inspected this amusement park ride. This, from the Kansas City Star, today.

State hasn't inspected Schlitterbahn water slide where 10-year-old died since it opened in 2014

In the meantime, the young boy tragically killed in the horrific incident was the son of a Republican, "small government" state representative who is likely against government oversight and regulation.

Let that sink in.
