Having just gotten back from the World, this is kinda creepy to hear. Especially since 4 of our 6 group members rode RnRC last week (editorial comment: all 4 of them walked off of the ride in perfect health. I opted not to ride it after intelligently reading all of the warnings, many of which would directly affect me).
Here's a comment from "Sensitive Tom": My sincere sympathies to the family. It's hard to handle natural death of someone who is ripe in age, but accidental death of a child is the hardest of all. I wish the best for the family during their grieving process. We know nothing about the situation, or the boy's health, so there is absolutly nothing else that can be said factually about this scenario.
Here's a comment from "Insensitive Tom": Of those who sue Disney (or anyone for that matter) in order to heal their emotional wounds - I have no no respect. The only time a lawsuit is justified is when the plaintiff was originally due a sum of money or goods and did not receive them - or if negligence caused the death of a spouse or someone who's continued life would have provided food, clothing and shelter for the living party. In the case of many of these kids dying on rides, neither of the above apply. The kid wasn't supporting the family, nor would the family be owed money in any other way simply because the child was alive. If money heals wounds, then those families have serious issues. Perhaps they'll go buy a nice boat to remember their son or daughter who died on M:S. I guess if money heals the heart, then they should have taken out a better life insurance policy instead of suing Disney for "forcing their kid to ride a dangerous ride". Good grief!
