ice rink roof collapse

On Thursday a ice rink in Slovakia had its roof collapsed. There was a hockey camp going on inside. the parents noticed the roof was going to collapse but that was when it was to late. When the roof was caving in everyone rushed to get the kids off the ice. The NHL star Richard Zednik was the host of the camp. he said that the scene was "full of fear and panic." It took 30 seconds to get every one off the ice and have every one safe. They said that the rink was opened in November but yet to be signed by the building inspectors. The roof fell because of the amount of snow on top of it. 

I thinks it good that no one was hurt. I dont think though that they should have opened the rink because it was not signed off by the building inspectors. Another thing is that is good it that it only took 30 seconds to get everyone off the ice and into some where safe.

This is a scary thing to have happen. It wasn't very smart on the ice rinks part to let people in without having the building inspector sign it off. It is a very good thing that everyone was safe and sound. Its not only good for the people inside but for the ice rink itself. If someone had gotten hurt, the ice rink could have easily been sued and lost a lot of money.

I can't believe someone would host something like a hockey camp inside the rink when they knew it wasn't inspected! I think the leaders of the camp should have taken the warning from the parents. I agree with the old saying: I'd rather be safe than sorry!". Since he was a professional, Richard Zednick should have taken precaution. Thankfully nobody was hurt in this accident!

I think that the people who hosted the hockey camp are not very smart. They let kids skate inside the ice rink knowing that it hadn't been inspected. Luckily no one was hurt, but it could have been much worse than it was.
