After a cable broke on a ride, I wonder if we should replace them all early.

Early replacement stops breaks, but it costs more for riders.

But what if the next break kills someone? Replace all.

Whoa, that feels like a huge overreaction. Cables don't all fail at once, they have inspection schedules for a reason. If we replaced everything early every time one part broke, ticket prices would skyrocket and other maintenance would get delayed. It's like saying we should replace every seat in a stadium because one chair leg cracked.

Honestly Gavinbaker has a point, it's not like the whole park is held together with old shoelaces and hope. They check these things for a living. Might as well replace every car on the road because one got a flat tire. Next we'll be replacing the entire roller coaster because a bolt got rusty, and my ticket will cost as much as my rent.
