  2. >she was asked to step off a ride after her harness failed to secure properly. However, as she disembarked the ride, she slipped off a moving walkway and fell onto solid ground – an incident that resulted in a catastrophic fracture to her lower back and damage to the muscles around her hip

    Seems like they are at least partly to blame, but not really the ride that caused the injury.

  3. she was too old to be doing that shit, mentally and physically. but sounds like the kids operating the ride didn’t think too much either. but seriously, sounds like she shouldn’t have gotten anything tho

  4. I had sciatica from the Disney race ride

    Most rides aren’t tall people friendly

  7. Unrelated, but I have an iron stomach and that’s the only ride I’ve ever come close to barfing from.

  8. One of those rides was HORRIBLE for me. I’m short and it was soooo jerky and my head kept hitting the metal sides of the seat. 1/10 experience and will not be going back on that one. Thought I was gonna get a concussion. It wasn’t fun at all.

  10. Well she at least can cover hospital and ambulance bills.

  11. She didn’t get injured ON the ride. Not saying it was her fault, just that anyone reading doesn’t need to be afraid to get on the same ride.

  13. Is this similar to the haunted mansion ride at Disneyland?

    Sounds like nothing malfunctioned, I don’t think the park should have been liable but I’m not surprised.

  15. Someone wasn’t a Disney plus subscriber, otherwise they’d have been subject to the arbitration clause

  16. The grandmother is 74. Guess they need to start implementing age limits on these things.
