Story here

Lawsuits anyone?

 

[PatboyX]

uh oh. i didnt think anyone was allowed to die on disney property.

 

[TheNinja]

Happiest place on earth?.....I think not

 

[Kev]

that sucks. that's gonna traumatize a hell of a lot of kids against coasters

 

[dman]

Ouch. I guess I won't feel so safe next time I'm at disney world... :Q

 

[Nitemare]

Disney has alot of money....



at least they used to 😉

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

That'd ruin your week for sure. 😛

said city spokesman John Nicoletti.

Teamster, this was a mob hit.

 

[Kadarin]

That really does suck... that's a fun little ride, too. Poor guy.. 🙁

 

[SyahM]

Ouch!

 

[anxi80]

they still call their employee's cast members?!?!?

 

[gistech1978]

i wonder if ABC affiliates will cover this story?
my guess would be.......probably not.

Weird...everytime I ride a ride someone dies on it a couple months later. I was at DL over Christmas. When I went to Six Flags junior year there was a water ride I rode about 8 times over and over again - a couple months later someone died on it.

Too bad. About the only decent ride in the entire park.

amish

[BigFatCow]

[DrVos]

Scary. I was there like 2 weeks ago and rode Thunder Mountain...twice. :Q

Why are all their rollercoasters so damn old? I'm all for nostalgia, but haven't there been some safety advances in the last 20-30 years that would have helped avoid something like this?

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

Compensation to family: free tickets to disneyland





(has a morbid sense of humor)

 

[sygyzy]

My friend used to work there. It's so funny how they call all the workers "castmembers". Even outside of work, he refers to himself and his peers as the cast or castmembers.

 

[Spac3d]

WTF? It looks like the pics were taken by a webcam.

probably. but they wont feel like they need it is my guess. these disneyland rides have been reliable for so long, and they are so slow that there was probably not much risk of accidents. if you compare disney land rides to larger amusement parks, its nothing. i always thought disneyland was really safe. :\

When you consider how few accidents DL has had, I'd think it's safe to say that it's still a safe place.

That's a pretty safe assumption
