At the end of that article, I love/hate how reporters believe it's their duty to end the story by pointing out all the other semi-recent Disney World-related accidents and injuries:
Quote:
In July, Disney asked the state to check out the Disney-MGM Studios' Tower of Terror ride when a teen from England, Leanne Deacon, 16, collapsed and was hospitalized with bleeding in the brain after riding the simulated elevator attraction. The ride was found to be operating normally.
In the past year, there have been several other accidents with injuries and death at Disney parks.
In June, Daudi Bamuwamye, 4, of Pennsylvania collapsed on Epcot's Mission: Space ride and later died. Inspections showed no signs of ride malfunction.
In August, Jerra Kirby,12, died after passing out at the wave pool at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. Investigators later determined she had a medical condition.
In February 2004, Javier Cruz, 38, a costumed Disney worker, died when he was pinned beneath a float during a Magic Kingdom parade.
