Report Faults Maintenance Error in Fatal Disney Crash (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-112603disney_lat,1,3862026.story?coll=la-home-headlines) - Los Angeles Times, 11/26/03

While state investigators found that the team assigned to Big Thunder Mountain also didn't follow safety procedures on other high-speed rides, which they did not name. DOSH didn't examine whether there were systematic problems in maintenance throughout the park.
"We did not take the scope of the investigation that far," DOSH spokesman Dean Fryer said. "That's outside the realm of what our investigation is looking at. Hopefully, they will review the procedures in other rides also."

OMG! :eek: If nothing has changed overall since the accident, another one could very well happen due to the same circumstances.
