Fatalities At Parks

I was reading around and found some sad stories from last year about fatalities - a four year old boy went on the Space ride at Epcot and died - he met the height requirement, but really shouldn't have been on the ride - there are warnings all over about it being a demanding ride physically with high g-forces.

On the same day another child was apparently found drowned in one of the pools.

How often does this sort of thing happen? I'd be terrified of letting a child out of my sight after hearing of stuff like that - I realise its a crowded, busy place, and it must be scary to a young child.

In both those incidences I feel very sorry for the parents, but I can't help but wonder how they allowed their child away unsupervised like that.

Re: Fatalities At Parks

I heard something about "Space Mountain" I dont know if its true but I hope not. I ride this ride every single time I go. Many parks have accidents.... Disney is just too big so the news likes to get on their bad side and talk about all of the bad things.

Yea, you can't really take what is said about Disney seeing the bad news will favor the good news for the most part when it comes to writing stories because they are more juicier.
