Maintenance electrician Mr
Eric Butters was fined £2,500 plus costs of £500. The French manufacturer,
Societe Reverchon Industries, France, was found guilty after a four-day
trial. The company, which is in liquidation, was fined a total of £120,000
plus £55,000 costs.
The cases were brought after
a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation into an incident on 20

student Gemma Savage died and three other riders were injured after two cars
collided on the ‘Treetop Twister’ roller coaster.
