Very serious complaints are made to SKAI by an amusement park owner who states that the fatal toy was intended for scrap metal and that when he was offered to buy it, he refused.

He also claims that with 250 euros one can get a certificate of good operation regardless of the condition of the machines.

The well-known businessman in the field, who wishes to remain anonymous, emphasized that he wanted to speak to denounce unacceptable conditions and practices that have existed for decades.

As he characteristically said, “at some point the abscess has to burst”.

Regarding the machine in which 19-year-old Giannis tragically died a few days ago, the businessman revealed that he had been offered to buy it by a certain businessman.

He went to Katerini to check it out and saw it both in operation and while it was being stored for scrap.

“I would never take that,” he says.

“I would never make people sit on that pile of scrap metal,” he adds.

Also, he complains on the one hand that the specific construction was not made by a certified, serious technical company but in a neighborhood garage, as a result of which it does not provide any security at all, and on the other hand that the whole system that deals with regional amusement parks is “a mess ».

In particular, he explains that no one has a license and accreditation from a manufacturing company, while professionals in the field know that with a phone call and 250 euros, an engineer can be found to sign what is dictated to him without even bothering to check the machines.

He further questions the safety rules, explaining that no municipality has the expertise or personnel to ensure that the rules are implemented and followed.

At the same time, he points out that there is a problem regarding the operators as there is no accreditation process to ensure that they are doing their job correctly.
