ACCIDENT at Crush Coaster

[DLPMagic]

Hi !

Yesterday an accident happened at the attraction Crush Coaster at Walt Disney Studios Park.
A guest was ridding the coaster and certainly thought he was not in secure, so the jumped out of the coaster and fall 7 meters hight.
He was hurt at his head, but according to some cast member, he was allowed to go home with his car.
The attraction was kept closed during that day but reopened during the evening for a "special event".

Interesting - he "thought he wasn't secure" as opposed to "he wasn't secure"

Lost in translation...

Bless the media. It now seems the person in question tripped himself up - on a staircase - during an evac of the ride. He later drove himself home from the park.

Makes the Orlando Sentinel seem like a saint!
