Child Dies on Mission Space

[innerSpaceman]

I will make no assumptions till the lawsuit is settled, er, I mean, the autopsy report is issued.

Though likely an unknown medical condition, it's not out of the question for the ride to be too much for 4-year-olds in general, whether or not they are genetically freaky enough to meet the height requirement. I think having vomit bags available on the attraction is hint enough that this ride is not typical Disney.

The cynic in me (ok, the cynic in me which has almost consumed me) thinks that Disney is trying to "spin" (who could avoid such a pun?) this death in their usual liablitity-avoidance manner. News reports say the kid was "unresponsive" after being pulled from the attraction, but that's just Disneyspeak for "dead."
