I work in safety and have never seen an OSHA fine come close to causing pain for a company responsible for the death of a worker or visitor. You would be shocked at how little a finger or hand is worth from an actuary’s stand point. Now I work closer to environmental disciplines and the fines are crazy for the littlest thing.
I was 9 years old and was actually at Disney the day of the monorail crash. I remember my family and I were staying at the Swan Hotel in the park, and that night I could hear the emergency vehicles responding, and then the news about it on the TV. Talk about remembering your first Disney trip. Rest in peace Austin.
@@sarahbowman7566yeah, they probably know, but if its at night you would more than likely still be able to hear the emergency vehicles and things if you are still on the park’s land. Ofc Austin would need to be close enough to the hotel for them to hear, but it is very much so possible. Also considering it was on the monorail it was probably closer to the hotel than most rides were
I grew up in Tampa. One thing I can tell you is that no matter where in the world you go, you need to look up natural hazards. A general rule of thumb that anyone traveling to Florida should keep in mind, If there is a body of water in Florida, there are gators in it. It makes as much sense as trying to sue a beach when there is a shark bite.
But people that are not from Florida have no idea little children are not allowed near the water. Or dogs. They are prey. Warning signs should be everywhere.
@@ushadigiacomo7213most places have warning signs- there are so many bodies of water here, it is impractical to put a sign on every single one. a google search takes five minutes. people need to be smarter.
There are signs to tell you even on the roads! And this was when I visited at 8 years old I’m 30 now! But there was pleanty of warning signage around when young even at the side of the roads
Are people that lacking in knowledge?? Did the parents pay any attention in school? I'm not even American yet I knew at 14 in school geography class about gators/crocs and other dangers in Florida, Australia etc.
RIP to all who have lost their lives :( I especially cried about the young train operator who lost his life. 21 you're just starting out your life :( fly high dear, you are missed.
I went to disney in orlando florida with my family back in october and holy crap, with that many people packed into the park ride malfunctions were the last thing on my mind when we actually got a chance to ride anything (i think we rode maybe 6 rides in the two days we went.) It was so overstuffed that when we tried to leave it was shoulder to shoulder in 87 degrees. My kids were panicking, some woman with an empty stroller was using it as a weapon to get through, hitting my mother and running over my foot (I had not sat once the entire day we were there and my foot ended up bruised and massively swollen) and the only thing running through my head was "what if there is a fire or someone has a gun? We'd be killed." It was really a horrifying experience.
@@melissaspake7727 ugh no thank you. The whole experience was soul, and foot, crushing. 4 hour wait for a ride that was mentioned in this video 😭 glad we weren't crazy enough to wait that long
@@timmy7201 isn't that the truth! My kids definitely have more fun camping. Hopefully Disney gets it together and either expands or starts regulating how many people they let in there.
@@ashleyketchum3559 If your kids like camping, I would really recommend trying out the camping-canoe combo (or whatever type of paddle boat you can find)... I personally find the walking/hiking type of backpacking kinda boring. When you've to carry everything, you're kinda limited in the amount of cargo you can bring with you. Especially with younger children, whom cause a ton of additional cargo, yet can't carry it themselves. You don't have that cargo issue when hiking by canoe/boat. We always have one watertight-barrel inside our canoe, for important stuff (tent, electronics, one day worth of food and water, cooking stove, etc...). We also drag a secondary watertight-barrel behind our canoe, with less important stuff (week rations rice,noodles,dried and canned meat, drinking water, etc...). The floating barrel kinda also works as a makeshift cooler, if you make sure it's deep enough in the water. But it does result in more drag, thus harder to paddle against. With kids it's best to travel trough smaller creeks, and avoid larger open waters. The open waters can become windy, which is very tiresome to paddle against with kids onboard who can't really help you. I would also recommend life-jackets for everyone, or at least for the kids. Use PH neutral soap, when doing the dishes in the river. Avoid drinking water from the river or lake, not even after cooking or filtering it, unless in an emergency. Just bring enough drinking water with you for a couple of days, you can always beg for more when you pass by a house. I've never had anyone refuse me a refill 🙂. Don't forget toilet paper and ... a shovel to hide it! Keep one phone fully charged but powered off, as emergency device. Solar powered battery banks are also useful for longer trips. Don't forget the fishing rod, hat against the sun, sun-protection, swimming gear, mosquito spray, etc ... We usually canoe for 1 to 3 weeks in a row, but I would recommend starting with 3 to 4 days to give it a feel... It's quite tiresome when one isn't used to it... Enjoy :-)
I love rollercoasters. I've witnessed dumbass kids who mess with their restraints as the ride is going full speed just to take the "perfect selfie". Rules are there for a reason, not just to be "annoying". This is how accidents happen.
@@electricbopwell most of them can’t be removed but fiddled with enough so that you can fall out, or as this person stated, take the perfect selfie, probably costing their lives or causing injuries
Restraints are, made so they can't be released, well, the over the shoulder headbanger style ones or the ones which flip forwards on to your abdomin as the ride's about to start. A member of park staff will then come round and check everyone's securely locked into their seats. I couldn't even ride one coaster because the locking mechanism didn't kick in because my chest was too big for it. when I went to Thorpe Park UK, so I decided that was the end of coasters for me in my mid 30s. I was probably too old for them anyway.
@@electricbop Then if something goes wrong mid-ride and they need to evacuate, they're just stuck there? We should be able to trust people not to take off the equipment keeping them safe, and if they do then who cares, they were literally too stupid to live.
but the creator here would have you believe its all the fault of the CRUEL GREEDY TERRIBLE HORRIBLE NO GOOD DISNEY!!! seriously, hate of corporations and the wealthy has gotten out of hand. If something goes wrong, its not ALWAYS the fault of the company or a rich person (as much as media would try to have you believe)
unless i'm mistaken (and i probably am), the "destroyed" track shown at this video's beginning is part of Expedition Everest's decor, and is not the result of a ride malfunction.
Disney World in Orlando can be extremely hot for around 9 months of the year. As a young family, we went there while our children were still young. Unfortunately, staying hydrated was a major challenge. The cost of a 20 oz bottle of water was $5, (1988) which was unaffordable for us. It seemed like Disney didn't care about the visitors' well-being as long as they were making profits.
The entire Disney "empire" is a disgusting joke. ESPN, ABC, etc, all fraudulent for-profit, screw the little guy companies. I turned it all off years ago.
Most of these were at Disney World. The narrator keeps calling it Disneyland when it’s Disney World! Confusing for those watching who have never been to either.
I remember going to Disneyland as a kid in the 60s. That was magical. Much less crowded and there was a really convoluted ticket system to get on rides. Since then, the cost and lines have skyrocketed to where it's just not worth it.
I worked at Disneyland Paris when it had first opened. At one point they cut the cast members down so much there was one operating each of the three dark rides in fantasyland. For a start it was a nightmare to close down as people would just get on anyway and you couldn’t stop them as there were people still inside. One day a little girl got off the Pinocchio ride but climbed out the other side and went behind the vehicle to cross the track and while she was behind the vehicle the cast member thought there was no one there so moved the vehicle to the loading area and the vehicle behind ran the girl over and crushed her skull. It was kept very quiet, with a big pay off, the cast member was obviously traumatised, but not fired, no one was as they couldn’t really find someone specific to pin the blame on but all that was done to keep costs down of having extra cast members. All they did was put someone on the unload area to check everyone got off properly. I went back a few years ago to visit and now there’s three cast members on each dark ride and they’re sat down, there’s a console at the unload area that advances the vehicle and gates that stop people from boarding vehicles until it’s ready. Makes me wonder if something else happened after I’d left that they’ve kept quiet about
With the 4-year old who fell out of the ride, the employees hadn’t followed two main safety protocols: the smallest child was supposed to be seated the farthest away from the car’s cutaway entry and the safety bar wasn’t locked down all the way, as stated. Disneyland wasn’t cited for not having sensors on the cars, they added those after the tragedy as an extra safety feature. His head wasn’t run over; the idiot staff left the car on top of him for almost ten minutes with his body bent double. His breathing was restricted and deprived his brain of oxygen.
I don't remember what year it was but I went with my parents to Florida and we stayed at Orange lake. My mom told us not to get close to the water because she had heard there were alligators in the water. I thought she was being too cautious but did as she told me too. years later we returned and I was an adult. And we learned a boy had died from an Alligator attack. So sad
Growing up in southeast Texas I learned at a very early age to be cautious about bodies of water incase alligators lived there. I’ve seen plenty enough to know they really are there.
3:56 this moment when the kid turns black and white.. that hit me.. bro, how many people on photographs that I have are gone already.. so many black and white people :(
I remember hearing about the 2 year old boy, and wondering then, like I did watching this video, why the baby was playing, unsupervised, while the parents were strolling nearby? Everybody who possesses more than one brain cell knows tiny tots should be actively supervised.
What exactly would they have been able to do if they were right beside him? It sounds like he was being a normal kid at a beach, collecting buckets of water for his sand castle or whatever. Maybe they were putting sunscreen on their other kid, who knows. Alligators are freakin fast, and camouflaged until theyre ready to strike.
the story about the Columbia had a lot of things wrong with it and also left tons out. like how the way it was dock was wrong, it was going faster than it should have been, the person who tied the rope to the metal plate was unexperienced, and instructions were not followed.
I just found your channel tonight and I have to say I’ve watched a bunch. I can’t stop myself. Very well done and very informative. Thank you for letting us know things we may not know because like you said a lot of things that happen are either kept quiet or don’t get much attention. I haven’t been to an amusement park In many many years and don’t plan on going anytime soon. When my kids were younger but old Enough to go we chose the ZOO!! No Rides just animals. Again great videos.
I grew up near Disneyland. When I was around 12 a person lost both of their arms on the Matterhorn because of throwing (her) hands up while they were riding. I’ve never been able to find an article about it even though it was in the local newspaper. I can’t remember if it was a male or female. This was in the 1960s.
I stayed at the grand Floridian a month before that little boy died . My little ones played on that same beach area . So scary ! My heart hurts for that family watching their son get taken by a gator
55 people died there since 1955 with over 50,000,000 visitirs each year. Thats actually a pretty good number . 69 × 50,000,000 is 1.38 biliion people with only 55 fatalities. Thats a damn good safety record .
Yeah but you don’t take into account that the people who are not paying for it are not going to be able to afford the service because they don’t have the money for the services and you can’t say that to them
It's unfortunate that any has died at these amusement parks, but it does happen. I wouldn't even want to humor the idea of it happening to one of my kids. That doesn't change the fact that 55 out of an estimated 1.38 billion is way less than 1%. Hell, it's way less than 1/2 of 1% . It's not a bad number from a safety record standpoint.
Not even half a percent. 55 out of 1.38 billion is .000003%. For reference your chances of being struck by lightning are .00083%. Your are far more likely to be struck by lighting than die at Disneyland.
Some of the events were most definitely Disney's negligence, however, many of the events were due to the guests' actions. If a guest chooses to remove their safety restraint, nothing will stop them and a company should not be responsible for their stupidity. The video and the wording he uses to frame the events make my stomach turn. This is how and why people do stupid things and become rich. We need to return to a time when people are responsible for their own actions. It is devastating that a little boy lost his life due to an alligator however, this is Florida and it is overflowing with alligators and now snakes. The parents should have kept the child away from the water, it is common sense people need to be aware of their surroundings and take necessary actions to keep their family safe.
People from North, East, and West are generally not tuned in to gators. To some it may be common sense, but to others not familiar with the environment, it's not on their radar. More safety awareness is needed. DISNEY tourists come from many different areas of the U.S. and other countries.
@@Jo-jeenRusakit’s an individual’s responsibility to protect their children and educate themself. Maybe more education could be in place, but most people don’t read signs and wouldn’t listen to a guide. We shouldn’t have to parent people’s children for them. What do you suggest as a reasonable solution to educate people?
@@Jo-jeenRusakHonestly wherever there’s nature there is danger doesn’t matter how insulated these large man-made landmarks are. Unbeknownst to visitors although not a common occurrence where I live mountain lions, bears, coyotes etc have and will come into the city. Many of us are sheltered and often forget these cities we build are in the middle of nature so animals will be around…something many people often never crosses their mind. That’s what suburb or downtown city living will do to ya.
We stayed at one of the resorts and saw gators at one of the lakes. My father called the help desk and the operator just joked: "Oh that's just one of our pets." The 80s were wild indeed.
I was first in Disneyland in 1966 and it was still being built.No long lines, no interminable waits. Two decades later it was still manageable but now prices are out of sight (and I am not talking about Disneyworld, which i have never visited. I would sooner go to Europe for those prices, not even thinking about just how dangerous the parks might be.
Except they're not dangerous with context. There are just under 100 fatalities total from Disneyland & Disney World combined in nearly 70 years. Well over 1 billion people have visited either one or both. That equates to less than 1 in 10 million people have died who visited those parks.
A friend of mine died in a rollercoaster accident while on vacation in Spain. Happened in Terra Mitica just a year after I was there with my dad, grandpa and brother. We were friends but his brother was my one if my best friends at the time and I barely saw him for like a year after that. He never wanted to go out or do anything. Understandably. He's now a chef in Norway (we're from Iceland).
I almost flew out of my seat at Carowinds amusement park because the bar that was supposed to lock down over my legs didnt lock and i had to hold on for dear life to keep from getting thrown out. Another time a kid fell out of a ride called the drop zone and he died on impact. Another incident there that i did not see myself was a kid dropped his hat and his dad climbed over a barricade and was decapitated when the ride passed over him just as he stood up.
When I was a child, I went to Disneyland, and I only got to ride the kitty rides. I didn’t get on the Matterhorn until I met my wife. We were living in Louisiana and came out here to see my mom and dad, and went to Disneyland had a great time. I rode them at a horn and thunder Mountain for the first time, wow it wasn’t a scary as I thought it was. But I see now all the problems that they have with amusement parks I don’t really care to go anymore. My life is more important to me than having something happened to me by the negligence of some stupid person that works at the amusement park. My mom always said rather be a life chicken than a dead duck. Now I see all these accidents I see how Rite she really was. God bless her soul she was a very intelligent, and very smart lady. She wanted to protect me, she wanted me to live, well here I am still alive and doing well. All except I can say is thank you mother dear. Oh I feel so sorry for all those people and all those families that lost their loved ones due to this stupidity of some amusement park worker or poor maintenance on Ride either way it’s on safe you’re going to wind up dead if you’re not careful. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks for the great videos. I’m watching I’m amusement park videos today Just to see how unsafe they really are people wise up saying is rather be safe than sorry have a great day💀☠️😪😖😡
Disneyland opened its gates to invited guests on Sunday, July 17, 1955 at 2:30 PM in Anaheim, California. The opening ceremonies were broadcast on ABC and featured Walt Disney and then-Governor Knight leading a parade of Disney characters. Tickets cost $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. I was born July 25, 1955 and visited Disneyland three times without incident
Went to Florida Disney with my little kids. I absolutely HATED it ‼️ Nothing but a greed park, all expensive souvenir shops, and rides where you stand in line for 2 hours for a 2 min ride.
Ever since I was young I was always scared to go on a carnival rides, or any type of ride. After watching this I’m thankful I never went to places such as Disneyland or Walt Disney World Oh Hell No.
55 people out of literally billions of people died since 1955. Disney has several parks, tons of hotels, and a city. Fairs have more accidents. Alligators live everywhere in FL. This whole thing was blown out of proportion. There have been more plane crashes and shark attacks than accidents at Disney.
for anyone who is scared of going on rides after watching this vid, just know that its more likely for something to happen to you on the way there, then actually at the park
Yup,like the boy that was killed by the alligator.Said there were no signs warning people when there was signs.The father left his 2 year old son basically alone and it was in the evening hours.Anywhere there is water in Florida,there’s the strong possibility of Gators.
This video keeps saying "Disneyland" when most of the videos are actually Walt Disney World and one was even showing Paris Disneyland. Get your facts straight.
Dude, I went on Mission Space when I was a kid the day before that incident. When I first heard about it I was horrified. And to this day, I think about it all the time.
As a Floridian, I can confirm that every once in a while, that thought crosses my mind lol Like, I take up the whole bath tub being a fat American, but still, what if it's a particularly sneaky, and flat, alligator??? Would never see it coming
@@misscuttlefish Flat alligator, what the hell is even safe in that state? At least it is safe to get a drink of water, unless or are you going to tell me of another kind of alligator? I think I live far enough away to not worry about any of those critters. Be safe and look closely before you get in the tub. Have a Great Day😁
When I played Rollercoaster Tycoon as a child I sometimes created attractions that launched people to their deaths and thought it was funny. Since I know that this is basically the thought process these amusement parks have in their mind as well I don't visit them anymore. I've seen a lot of very long documentations about accidents in such parks (the alligator was a new one to me though, I never heard of that one!). Seems like many attractions are just accidents that wait for their moment to happen. They are apparently very often designed for the thrill or for the experience of riding them, but not with decent safety standards. Even slow and harmless looking attractions caused lots and lots of deadly freak accidents during the last decades.
I also learned Walt Disney himself designed a suspicious ride. He was building the famous Pirates of the Caribbean ride when the designers brought out the skeleton props. Disney said they looked too fake so he told them to make them more realistic. A couple weeks later they brought out new and more realistic skeleton props, a little too realistic. A worker was fixing up some final touches to the ride until a prop fell on the ground, he picked it up to put it back but the prop didn't feel like plastic or any prop-like material. He said it felt thicker and harder, soon he thought the skeleton prop was no prop. It was real.
This is a well documented story, and it was never denied by Disney at all. Yes, they bought some real skeletons from UCLA's Medical facilities, which was a perfectly legal thing to do. Nothing suspicious there, it was the intended design, because they did want authenticity. And since there were no laws saying that real bones couldn't be used, it was done.
The entire video refers to every incident happening at DISNEYLAND, when some of them actually happened here at WALT DISNEY WORLD. I had never seen any pictures of the Monorail incident and I have no words 😢😢 I was actually working at the Grand Floridian when Lane Graves died. It was a real life version of CSI and all so surreal. I will never forget that night. They put up a lighthouse memorial in his memory.
I was forced to go to Disney world twice. For my wife's birthday where I got sick from a kid with a severe cold on one of the busses and his mom did nothing to cover his mouth or even wipe his nose and the second time where I was supposed to go see my dad and went there instead after I had a stem cell cell transplant. I was miserable during that one and my dad died after that. Never a happy memory. I have sworn never to go to that damn place again!
But why take such unnecessary risk with your or your children's lives? All for a few minutes of excitement? There are plenty of stupid ways to die. Amusement Parks are just about the most idiotic way.
I don’t care if it 1500 or 55 people that died ( some are their own staff) people that didn’t need to if staff paid attention or keep up safety checks but they don’t because all they care about is money not our safety and that is proven when they reopen these ride hours or days after these accidents which is not enough to to check what went wrong and to fix it and in some cases blaming the victims and not their staff
On the story of Marcelo, it was described that when the front locomotive flipped, he was still alive, but later it said that he died on the spot. Great continuity
MANY employees at Disney World use cocaine. Keep that in mind when you visit, they might be drugged out and not paying attention. I know this because I know someone who used to work there and was very anti-drug and complained about how many people did cocaine on their lunch breaks.
I remember being at the Magic Kingdom the day that the Graves situation happened. I didn’t witness it luckily, mainly because I was at another resort when it ended up happening. The day after, my family left, which was coincidentally the day they found the young boy’s body in the water. Hearing about deaths like these genuinely make me sad :(
I took my daughter 9 son 11 X and myself to Disney in Florida. In the early 90s and it was a place I dreamt about for 20yrs. Stayed a week at the Carribian Beach resort for a week. It was everything I thought it was and we loved it. Back in MASS tubing down hills in the winter my son slammed into a tree requiring an ambulance to the hospital he was 12. My son a couple of years later did the luge. When you go out on a ride it's the fear that makes you excited. I feel bad for these people but it happened and they knew there is a very small chance of death
my dad once saw something horrifying, he told me he was on the highway driving just seconds after a terrible accident. He came across a car damaged in the front and the owner looking down on a split in half motor cycler. he told me he didn't see very much but he said he saw two legs hanging off a bumper with no upper half. The news later reported what happened and he was there.
A lot of these incidents forgot to mention some of the whys on it happening. Read into it more. Im a Disney fanatic and research a lot of history. Sometimes a customer not following directions, customers doing the unthinkable, a few forgetful maintenance or safety checks.
Disney is even nice enough to pay for something that not only is their fault but also isn't they're fault, with customers not following directions, even paying for something that had nothing to do with the park like the incident with the lil girl on a ride getting shot by a bullet in the back in Disney park... The bullet came from outside neighborhoods around the park. Had nothing to do with Disney and the lil girl. Disney still was nice to pay for it and the family's loss. Which is Soo horrific.
The alligator story is seriously heartbreaking. I understand the parents assuming the body of water accessible from disney was safe, bc disney world is supposed to be kid centered, so safety seems like it would be the number one concern. Not having warnings about gators? Thats crazy when you know people are coming from all over the place. Im from Michigan and the possibility of alligators likely wouldn't occur to me unless it was a swamp or pond i was looking at. Yes i know they live in all sorts of water sources, but the image ive been given of alligators through media, a beach on a bay would not be something I'd consider. Especially for the bays surrounded by other aspects of the park. If its within their park, i believe most would assume theyve gone through the steps to ensure the safety of all swimmers, and if they havent, swimming would not be allowed, and access to the lake would be blocked off. I cannot imagine watching my baby being taken away by a crocodile and not being able to do a thing about it. So awful. RIP.
These are really sad to watch but we all need to wake up to reality. It’s not anyone’s fault for going on the ride the systems are terribly failed when it comes to our safety. Me and my cousin and my aunt and her bf went to universal studios in Orlando fl it was like a year or two ago. So, between 2022-2023 anyways it was kinda close to our last ride my cousin and aunt sat side by side. I stood back I noticed on this rollercoaster (I forgot the name due to this being a long time ago) My buckle wasn’t all the way secure so I waited for my aunt and etc. My cousin almost fell out and there was water underneath her my aunt had to hold onto her bar really tight. I’m glad nothing worse happened to us 🙏🏾♥️ Guys please remember I know I’m just a stranger on the internet don’t choose excitement and thrill over your life. I know these situations are unpredictable just try your best to be safe and take as many safety precautions and warnings seriously. It isn’t worth it!⚠️ and I’m sorry to the families of these victims the system continues to fail us all poorly 😔
I was nearly died at Tivoli in Copenhagen when I was a kid. I was about to try out The Golden Tower to go up and going down at turbo speed. I remember we are about to start to go up and one of the employee shouted "STOP!" and came to me. He just clicked the belt thing to my shoulders. If not, I may fall to death. But I was lucky to be saved from one employee.
Many of the references to Disneyland are actually in Disney World. The Mars flight is in Epcot at Disney World. I have ridden it, knowing that there had been one or more deaths, and I must say the centrifuge made the ride so realistic, it was amazing.
Disney is all about money, and there are very few regulations and even fewer outside professional inspections checking Disney's rides. Because Disney is a privately owned park they can have there own ride inspectors - I would think that would be a conflict of interest. If someone is killed in an accident most companies would close that area of the park until an investigation is finished. This is why I do not attend theme parks like Disney, because they are not properly regulated, and safety inspections only happen when someone gets hurt or loses their life! No thanks!
I damn near cry for the loss of the 2 yr old boy, that is to close for home, my baby boy is 1yr old now and he is my world! my condolences to all the people that lost their life's at Disney land I have been there twice and haven't ever heard of these cases
Out of 800 million visitors across decades of operation, tens of deaths really is not such a big deal. Your drive to and from the park is probably MUCH more dangerous. I don't like the misleading sensationalist tone in this video.
After having lived in FL a while, I composed a list of “FL rules”. The gators in every body of water is one of my rules too. Another, “never drive thru standing water.” It takes just a little depth of water to float a car. If your car is floating, you lose all ability to control direction of car.
I've been to both Disney locations, I noticed a lot of visitors don't pay attention to signage of warnings. I feel for all the people whose lives were lost due to defective equipment or employee error. I stopped going on ALL rides when I reached my 50's, my friends said I was a fatalist.
8:36 The subtitles say that Luan Phi Dawson was 33 years old. 9:31 Yet, the writing on the grave (August 28, 1964 to December 28, 1998) shows that he was 34 years old.
Not one time did anyone I ever knew as a kid thought to climb over a fence to get a "free" ride at an amusement park, yet some idiot did so at Six Flags in Atlanta. It's sad enough when it wasn't the cause of the child, teen, or adult, but the negligence of the park's maintainence or an accident.
The Graves incident.. is their fault. Sorry to say, but big safety a rule of thumb while visiting Florida.. All natural fresh/brackish waterways SHOULD BE TREATED AS GATOR INFESTED. Even if they don't seem to be. Gators are masters of camouflage in their environment, looking like a floating log.
Years ago on splash mountain my soon who was properly seated on the ride lifted out of his seat i saw him lift up and was able to grab him before it was too late..be careful at Disney...
