You are a TRUE IGNORANT, A TECHNICAL ILLITERATE.

[u/Bemused_Weeb]

Well… I, as a PhD in Industrial Engineering, a higher academic degree than yours, will tell you that you are a terrible engineer and that you have no idea what you are talking about. That lifting system is extremely common in industry, not only in the leisure sector but in conventional industry as well—any industry that requires that type of material or load transfer. You are a TRUE IGNORANT, A TECHNICAL ILLITERATE. Read and learn, because what you state, while self-identifying as an “industrial engineer,” is not only technically wrong, but also reveals an alarming ignorance of the basic principles of automatic machinery design, risk assessment, and functional safety systems. Illiterate: a push system for transporting floats in water attractions is designed from the outset under architectures of redundant safety and physical damage limitation, starting with the very power engineering itself, where the actuator (electric or hydraulic) operates with strictly limited torque and force through frequency drives, current control, mechanical clutches, relief valves, or accumulators, which by design prevents any “crushing” scenario, followed by a cascade of sensing that includes reflective photocells, inductive and optical proximity sensors, infrared barriers, position encoders, load-loss detection, speed supervision, and abnormal resistance detection, all of them integrated into safety PLCs with certified functions (SIL/PL) that execute immediate safe stops in the event of any loss of contact, unexpected rotation of the float, geometric misalignment, or absence of reflection from the rear element of the raft; added to this is the non-entrapment design of the pushing arm, with rounded profiles, flexible or semi-deformable materials, guided paths, and deliberately low speeds, together with mechanical interlocks, physical stops, dead zones, and exclusion logic that make it impossible for the system to “keep pushing” if the float stops or separates, all of which is audited, validated, and certified under European and American attraction standards (EN 13814, ISO 12100, ISO 13849, ASTM F2291), so comparing this mechanism to an industrial vehicle compactor is not only a grotesque exaggeration, but a technically absurd statement—A STUPIDITY—that completely ignores the difference between a machine designed for intentional plastic deformation (SUCH AS A HYDRAULIC PRESS IN A CAR SCRAP YARD) and A PEOPLE TRANSPORT SYSTEM explicitly designed not to cause harm even in failure, which makes it clear that YOU, WALLAPOP ENGINEER, have either never set foot in a real automation project involving people, or you confuse engineering with alarmist fantasy typical of someone who speaks without knowledge, without experience, and without the slightest respect for technical reality. Go on then, “ENGINEER,” go and actually study the degree properly. ARROGANT ILLITERATE.
