Are you trying to say Disney knew they had a dangerous ride on there hands are are purposely deceiving the guests? Most of your posts make sense and I agree, but this one just baffled me. The term is quit while you are ahead.

I believe the article would say life threatening if it was. Remember the news likes to mkae verything sound as bad as possible, if they could get away with life threating they probably would.....dxer07002 said:

yeah....have Disney give the complete inner workings of the attraction.....because that will keep it magical
Even if Disney warns the guest even more than now (which is already boarderline excessive), how is the guest going to interpret this info?
The guest that died this time had majorly high blood pressure.....and the sign says that guests with high blood pressure should not ride...but check this out:
Tomorrowland Indy Speedway warning:
# For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.
Kilamanjaro Safari's warning:
For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.
Mission Space Warning:
For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.
Now....having been on all 3 of these attractions, I am not sure how the standard warning is valid....or if it is valid for all 3, perhaps it is "more important" for Mission Space.
Has anyone ever thought about the fact events like this have been happening since way back - it`s mainly due to the internet and modern news gathering they are reported so wide spread today? I doubt I`d have known about this if it wern`t for this or other boards; I`d be a happy tourist - one none the wiser.
Without the 'net, how many of us would know about the tragic events of the Anahiem Carousel Theatre killing a CM, the WDW Skyway doing likewise, or the real reason PotC`s duel load was removed?
Sad things like this arn`t knew; we are just more informed today.

A German tourist who collapsed this week after riding the Mission: Space thrill ride at Walt Disney died from bleeding of the brain brought on high blood pressure, according to the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner's Office.
The autopsy of Hiltrud Blümel showed of "severe, long standing high blood pressure," Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia said in a statement released Friday afternoon. There were no signs of trauma, she said.
The official cause and manner of death will not be determined for four to six weeks until results are obtained from tests on the victim's brain, other organs and blood, the doctor said.
Blümel, 49, summoned help at 1:19 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after completing the 4-minute thrill ride that spins up to 160 customers at 2 Gs, twice Earth's gravity, on a mock space flight to Mars, records show.
She died Wednesday at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, according to Disney spokesmen.
Garavaglia's initial findings of "a hypertensive bleed within the brain" confirmed the same diagnosis made by the doctors who treated Blümel.
The death is the second within a year associated with the $100 million ride at Epcot.
Last June, Daudi Bamuwamye, 4, of Sellersville, Pa., died while riding with his mother and sister. An autopsy showed that he suffered from a rare and undiagnosed enlargement of his heart.

Not to change the subject. But what was the real reason it was removed?

Well, that pretty much sums that up. A person with severe hypertension ( probably well above 200 systolic even with meds) and then gets on a ride and then has a hypertensive crisis leading to a CVA...I am sorry folks...but this really could have happened on other rides such as ToT, SM, RnR.
