It aint exactly surprising that a simulation of a dangerous thing would also be... a dangerous thing.
Three people injured by a stage version of a real life thing that killed 1500 people?
That actually aint too bad!
But why society needs simulations of the iceberg that sank the Titanic is an open question.
I guess so people can experience the thing. They also have a basin of water along the tour that is supposed to the same temperature as the North Atlantic on thst fateful night.
"Holy s**t, Dave! That's pretty damn cold!"
I think if they really want to show what it was like for those 1500 souls, they should have a catwalk over frigid water.
"Ok, folks, if you head onto the steel walkway, we'll continue the tour. If everybody will just stop in the middle, please. Thank you!"
Then the tour guide pulls a lever, and down they go. (A medical room to treat hypothermia would need to available, of course. )
