Yeah, that whole spin/jump move doesn't seem like a good idea in a crowded setting...

Hope she's ok. At least she'll soon be immortalized in an internet meme.

That sucks.

And she will get a nice legal settlement out of it.

This just in: All dancing CM's will now be illuminated by strobe lights to give the illusion of dancing. Also: The entire parade route will be covered by nets as required by Disney Legal.

No, just some free park hoppers.

 

[openendedsky]

Um, ouch. Poor girl.

"I went to Disney World and all I got was knocked out."

Total accident - but horrible and frightening. Not sure why Disney won't respond, unless she's already indicated that she's looking for a payday.

BTW, the headline on the news report says "knocked out," but as far as I can tell the report mentions only a black eye. Not that a black eye is fun, but it's a lot different from being knocked unconscious.

EDIT TO ADD: For some reason the audio didn't kick in right away when I started watching it, I heard the reporter say "knocked out" at the beginning of the report when I re-watched it. So, I'm guessing the kid was knocked out? Or was she using a figure of speech?

I didn't hear that she actually got knocked out either - a reason why I was careful with my wording for this thread...there sure is a big difference!

Sure Disney won't respond, they are lawyering up. It real sad, sucks it happen but if it were my son, brush him off and party on. It was an accident.

No good can come of kids getting involved in any show at Disney. Let the CMs do their job without having little rug rats out there to cause problems or get in the way.

Have you seen the little b*stards who have been swinging wildly at Darth Vader in the Jedi Training at DHS? Main reason why kids needs to just ride rides, watch shows and stay out of the way.

No, just some free park hoppers.

If it's just something like a black eye, I believe the usual approach is an ice pack and either a toy, a snack or some FPs.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Disney should comp her a resort room so she'll spend any potential settlement and put it back in Disney's hands...

 

[wdwmom2+1]

I dont know the details but about 10 years ago a freind of mines son (who was 6 at the time) got knocked over at magic kingdom by a CM total accident and he broke his arm. They gave his family annual passes

I'm sure they'll get something, but Disney probably won't make it public for obvious reasons. They'll have parents pushing their kids in front of things to get the reward. Gosh, I sure hope I was kidding just then. Of all the reasons I have heard for guests to get something extra from Disney, this is one of the more logical ones.

I was actually wondering how long before stuff mentioned in this thread makes it onto certain other Disney boards as "insider tips" for "free stuff from Disney!!!!!"

Maybe we should just lock the thread here!

Oh boy..the tone of that piece has a little 'lawsuit to follow' ring to it.

That was indeed quite a blast she took -- that dude was in the middle of a Jean Claude Van Damme spin move when he connected with her little noggin it definitely had to hurt but it could have been worse...like let's say getting molested on a cruise line....

 

[RandomPrincess]

The news report was weird. It says she got knocked out but nothing about a trip to the hospital. Did she just get knocked down or knocked out? Also the report makes it seem like they didn't contact Disney about the injury until they got home. If she was well enough to finish her trip why contact Disney when they got home, unless it's a cash grab?

This more than likely happens all the time, it's just the first time we have seen it captured on video. Anytime you have a crowd of people trying to dance close together this is bound to happen.
