Child Dies on Mission Space

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions like that. I would not be surprised if an autopsy shows that this was yet another case of a latent blood clot in the brain, or something. As tragic as it is for the family, theme parks have yet to be held responsible for those kinds of undiscovered medical conditions over which they have no control.

I read about this jsut before I logged on to the lounge... so I didnt read your link, rather the one on CNN.

But I read that the child was treated 'after' he got off the ride. So that would not in fact make the parks liable for his condition, and since there have been others taken to the hospital in the past year, its not as if they didnt know it was a stressfull ride.

They will support the family, but I think that this will do nothing to close the ride for an extended time. (Though did anyone else think that this was a tall 4 year old?)
