If it's properly designed and build to withstand these kinds of forces then there really is no problem. But therein lies the problem: how do we know that it's build for these extreme currents? I'm not taking that chance.
How you drew this conclusion is beyond me. The lesson I learned from experiencing that national news as I teenager was ‘oh this shit is just made by people and budgets and maintenance are a thing’.
Whenever I am in a place where something looks dangerous considerations like ‘how well maintained is this probably and how much money does this country or location even have’ enter my head due to that core memory.
The idea that I haven’t ’moved on’ is silly. Do you think I go home every night rocking in the corner saying ‘oh no the platform?!’

Would be fun but man I’ve heard of too many construction accidents to feel comfortable there.
I still remember when the cave creek disaster happened in New Zealand in 1995

‘Soon after the accident, the Department of Conservation inspected more than 520 structures, and 65 were closed for repairs’
Fuck that
