Circus Circus is dangerous. A gradeschooler could tell you that.
And just how is it Circus-Circus's fault that the girl obviously had an undetected heart problem?? If this family tries to sue then SHAME on them! In the meantime my condolences go out to the family as it must be very difficult to lose a child no matter what the age.
