Do you have a porch, patio or deck in your place of residence? How tall is the railing?
When you go to a mall with more than one level, how tall are the railings around the upper levels?
What about hotel balconies?

Should all of these places just have a floor-to-ceiling cage across the open side? Or how about no openings whatsoever. Everything gets a wall with a window (which won't open, because you can't trust those Guests not to open it, lean out and fall...)

Even very tall fences won't keep the stupid people out. Just look at the accident on an inverted coaster somewhere in California a few years back (Paramount Great America?). Someone scaled an EIGHT-FOOT-FENCE to get a dropped hat and was subsequently killed by a passing coaster train.

You can't protect the entire population of the world. It's simply not possible.

Disney should have no liability in this case. 99% of the population is smart enough to know that when you're 25 feet off the ground it's not a really good idea to hang over the fence.

Anyway, keep an eye out for how long it takes for a lawyer to convince this moron to sure.

I think due to this accident, they should immediately bulldoze the current DL version of this ride and rebuild it like WDW. This will help avoid any mental anguish riders who have been on the WDW version encounter after going on the DL version.

Oh yeah, and and add extra barriers to prevent drunks from falling.

If I was the CEO of Disney....:)

Just saw an article indicating the Governator signed some bill yesterday holding grown-ups (Disney?) accountable for underage drinking where an kid gets hurt or killed:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a legislation today that holds adults in the state of California accountable if youth they serve alcohol to are either injured or killed, and Wednesday’s incident will be used as a model for his newly instated law.
A statement from conference organizers read:
“California becomes one of just a few states with a social host liability law that hold adults accountable for underage drinking,” reads a statement from conference organizers. “Underscoring the significance, the signing comes one day after a 20-year-old who Anaheim police say had been drinking fell 25 feet from a Disney theme park ride, injuring himself.”

How is Disney NOt at fault. Did this guy have any line training? If not he should not have been in that line. Simple as that. Why give the guests an option of dying or not? You have to take that option away from them or things could happen.

railing heights are regulated per building codes. If Disney is in compliance and nothing was broken and no hazardous conditions existed, it is the guest's fault.
