Well for one, the workers who might just do maintainance around the coaster won't need to worry about getting hit by it. Also there could be errors where the coaster isn't completely shut down and actually running,
how about this quote from OP's post
"His death is the second reported in connection with the ride since 2002, when a maintenance worker was hit in the head by a rider's foot as it passed overhead. The ride opened in 1997."
If it was lets say atleast 15-20 ft in the air, would the worker have gotten hit ?
Actually, quite possible considering:
A 58-year-old park worker, Samuel Milton Guyton of Atlanta, was killed May 26, 2002. Guyton was in a restricted area on a platform when he was kicked in the head by 14-year-old girl on the front car of the ride. The girl was hospitalized with a leg injury.
Also, Guyton was a groundskeeper. He had no business being in that restricted area at that time anyway.
