Thanks for the write up I was too lazy to do it myself lol.This is the Roger Rabbit Incident. It seems the mother bent over to pick something up and he fell out of the ride.
The big thing about this incident was the refusal to call 911 right away when a child had been crushed under a car.
Looking through incident reports it seems there were a few times that Disney injury/death was deemed due to ride maintence and safety issues.
Out of the 100s of incidents in just Disney a vast majority were of people ignoring safety rules. Most are due to people unbuckling restraints or standing up and doing stupid shit like trying to jump between ride cars. And then there's incident with the two people SWIMMING to the abandoned discovery island and drowning. And sadly a lot of people decide to commit suicide at Disney in front of children. The rest are pre-existing conditions,
- Disney Land
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had a derailment in 2003 due to poor maintenance causing the ride's axle to break killing a man.
- OSHA case in 1998 for improper training leading to death of park guest on one of the ferries.
- Disney World
- Monorail incident is pretty well known where there was an error on the part of the controller causing them to not switch tracks and rearend another monorail resulting in a controllers death.
- In 2007 there was a cast member death due to another OSHA violation where there were no safety rails around a rollercoaster area.
What I was not expecting looking into this was that I'd read about in-ride molestation incidents...One of the accidents involved a child being molested on a ride by a stranger on Test Track DURING the ride.
I have never heard about suicides at the parks before! Are there any articles on that?
