Coroner James McDougall has delivered his long-awaited findings from the inquest into the Dreamworld Thunder River Rapids tragedy.

In Brisbane’s Magistrates Court, McDougall delivered an assessment of the theme park, determining that the theme park’s approach to safety was a “systematic failure”.

“Dreamworld placed significant reliance on ride operators to identify risks of issues,” he said, according to the ABC.

“It is unfathomable that this serious and important task fell to staff… who didn’t have the requisite qualifications or skill sets to identify such risks.”

Cindy Low, Kate Goodchild, her brother Luke Dorsett and his partner Roozi Araghi died in October 2016 when a water pump on the Thunder River Rapids ride malfunctioned.

Three of the four holidaymakers were flung into a mechanised conveyor when the raft they were riding collided with another and partially flipped on October 25, 2016.
