Breakdown At Test Track Leads To Guest Leaving Vehicle By Cutting Through Seat Belt

[David M]

So, there are strange happenings at Walt Disney World, and then there are strange happenings at Walt Disney World. The latter is the case of a story passed along to me from Sunday night at Epcot when Test Track broke down and a Guest cut the seat belt and got out of the stopped car.

Yes, you have read that correctly.

The fact that they never actually found the guy is kind of creepy...

 

[jrlang1]

wow that was stupid.

I will have to admit i was willing to swim after being stuck on Its A Small World for 15 minutes

 

[FigmentForver96]

Ugh people are just so stupid

 

[Mike S]

So, more metal detectors incoming?

 

[SteamboatStitch]

The lengths some people will go to show the world their impatience and stupidity is absolutely astounding.

 

[G00fyDad]

So, more metal detectors incoming?

No. He probably didn't use a knife. He likely used his razor sharp wit to cut the belt.

 

[Tay]

Welp another thing or two are about to be cut (no pun intended) .

The fact that this article is from a fan site and written about a story that was told to him is kind of misleading.

I saw a guy in a middle seat on Test Track take his lap belt and sling it over his shoulder like a shoulder restraint seatbelt on Test Track. I wonder if it was the same guy.

Before people attack him for being stupid, which he quite possibly was, I suffer from severe anxiety mainly around being stuck or not able to get out of situations easy. I take medication to be able to get on planes. We got stuck on our last trip on Dinosaur just as we were about to unload. We sat there for ten minutes. My heart was racing, I was sweating profusely, and felt like I was going to lose my mind. I quite literally couldn't handle the situation. I was two feet from a cast member and I almost started screaming.

I've dealt with it for a long time and would never cut myself out of the ride ever. However sometimes people don't know they have anxiety until it happens the first time and would be willing to do anything to escape it. I almost jumped into jellyfish infested waters in the Boston harbor and swam a half mile on a cold day the first time it happened to me.

then maybe going to an amusement park isn't in your best interest... people shouldn't put themselves in these kind of situations if they can't handle themselves accordingly

 

[Tigger1988]

Where's the proof this actually happened?

 

[BoarderPhreak]

This is why we can't have nice things...

 

[Dead2009]

Looks like one of the Grim Grinning Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion escaped again.

He was just running late to climb the temple in the Mexico pavilion...

So the report of someone getting out came from the remaining passengers in the car and neither surveillance cameras or CMs were able to find the guy and he slipped out undetected? I'm thinking those remaining passengers in the car disabled a seatbelt on an unused seat and fabricated a story to see who would believe it - or something along those lines.

What a compassionate and magical response.
