Paint over the rust
We don’t need to tell you how dangerous rust can be, do we? Surface rust is pretty easy to clean, but if you’re looking at large amusement park rides, it’s nearly impossible to remove all rust from all bolts across every ride. This is probably why amusement park managers would prefer their employees to paint over the rust than get them fixed.
We don’t know how a rusted bolt will last, but if the lives of hundreds of guests are at stake, you’d think management would put more care into repairs. But before everything else, our wallets speak. If it costs a fortune to replace, might as well just get a couple cans of paint instead.
