I think the inquest will quickly conclude with death by misadventure. He was trespassing, then he climbed someplace health and safety would require special attention. The ride operator wasn't present because it was closed, in a closed park, and should bear no hostile judgment.

Given that this took place in England (aka the Nanny State), the park operators will be sued for a multitude of things by the idiot's family and they will win.

Ah, but England has the "loser pays" in those type of lawsuits. There's not even a nuisance case to be brought because no one will risk paying for the defense lawyers when they lose on such an obvious case.

When even your fellow, intrepid wasted teen tresspassers are yelling at you not to get on a thing, that's when you might be taking it too far.  Crushed to death is no way to go through, or end, life, son.

And just how did the mechanical arm get moving/working anyway?  Did they have power?

Anyway, one kid's dumbass move is another parent's lawsuit bonanza.

FTFA, the kids were able to push it to get it spinning, then dumbass decided to climb on top and got a lesson in momentum.

Mr Welch told the inquest Mackenzie and two of his friends had pushed the ride until it gained momentum and was moving independently.
The friends recalled Mackenzie saying he was going to climb to the top of the ride. But as he did so, he got his leg stuck and became crushed between the moving arms.

Collaborations like Run DMCfirstsaidaDJcouldbeaband/Aerosmith, and Public Enemy/Anthrax cleared the way for Ice-T's Body Count side project. And all of them were indirectly drawing from early-70s funk-rock acts like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Finest that were the OG proof of concept.

No Sioux City & Pacific Railroad Co. v. Stout inthe UK?  It was based on Lynch v. Nurden, which was in the UK.

Hard to imagine a more attractive nuisance than a carnival closed for the night.  They should have had a guard.
