No. It's really not. These guests were definitely more than compensated.
And rightfully so.

They will definitely be proactive. I had an incident 2 years ago with a bed bug on my last night at jambo house. At 5am they opened the akl gift shop and my group of four were given new clothes, a free ride to the airport, one night of our stay comped and a free 3 day stay at any villa on property. I never asked for any of it. It was offered right away.
I'm suprised King Louie wasn't on the banks of the river throwing life perservers

How long before the first lawsuit comes from being traumatized
LOL did anyone sue after the accident of the skyway accident at Hollywood studios?

I really think it depends. My issue is that it should never be expected.
1. It has not that many.
2. If it keeps happening. It means the company sucks at improving.

I didn’t say that it’s happened a lot. But it’s happened a few times over the years. No reason to link it to current operations or lowered standards when it’ a single occurrence that has happened before.

You clearly don’t know how disney operates in situations like these.

I’m going to point something out now, but first let me say that it’s unacceptable that we’re eight pages into this and just getting to it.
You have to wonder as the water was rushing in and over people’s feet how many of them were in da Nile.
I expect better of you all.

THIS IS HILARIOUS! Thank you @realBobChapek. I'm loving you already.
Thankfully, nobody was in any real danger, but it makes sense that they would be compensated a small, fair amount. If there's a bad scenario, they give out ice cream sandwiches or free merch. If you lose your Fastpass, you can get one for any other ride, and the list goes on.
Disney is really good about helping in those wild scenarios, and a boat sinking (albeit safely) seems like it's a situation where giving out free park tickets and clothing is fair, or even a relatively small sum of money because it is the right thing to do. It may not be as popular as it used to be, but many people really are good people. As someone said, they'll even open gift shops at off-hours to help people in many cases.
Someone mentioned that Kalli is comparable, but it's not at all. You're expecting to get wet on one, and even then, it would be awful if a raft would sink. Thankfully Jungle Cruise uses a concrete track to rest on. In that case, it would be an even bigger deal, but in this one, let's just make it positive!
That's what I would have done if I was in charge of the decision. Why not bring a positive out of this? Look back and laugh!

I always change into flip flops when I ride the Rapids. I would never think I'd need to do that on Jungle Cruise.

I’m glad everyone is okay, but it’s also a funny incident for the history books.

Good job, but you should’ve added that shark scene from The Little Mermaid to make it more Disney.

The true question is: will skippers be allowed to joke about it?

Jungle Cruise boat at Disney World takes on water with passengers on board | CNN
Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando may be known as "The Most Magical Place on Earth," but for some visitors riding the Jungle Cruise on Thursday, the experience was a bit less magical and a lot more wet.
