Phone crushed on TOT

[WondersOfLife]

We got stuck on Tower of Terror... someone dropped their cell phone AND bag in the drop shaft! The ride RAN OVER the cell phone, it is CRUSHED. and the bag was right on the bottom of the drop as well. Maintenance showed us the phone right in front of us. Like wow. That was interesting.

This is why we keep phones in a purse.

Is there not a place to put your bags on ToT? (I haven't been on it in years so I have no recollection)

Isn't there a cage over the top of the ride vehicle?

"Please secure all personal items...or not." LOL! Now what will they do to recover their flash photos they took on Pirates and the Haunted Mansion?! Get the lawyers on the phone!

It's possible to have stuff fall out the front of the vehicle and down the drop shaft.

"Disney did not do enough to protect my personal belongings! I paid $100 for my park ticket, that should entitle me to more personal item protection! They should post a warning outside of the attraction about possible flying objects during ride operation! I'm not happy, Disney, and you need to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!"

I understand losing a hat or phone etc if it falls off/out on a rollercoaster..

But how in the world does someone lose a phone and bag on ToT?!

I am also curious. How does something like this happen?

I would think it would have had more of a chance to be thrown out the open doors once you are at the top if you are just holding the bag and decided to let go...but that is still a long shot.

Disney should just do what Hershey Park does: collect all the smashed phones/valuables, put them in a clear container, and then put them next to the warning sign at the rides' entrances.

Was this on Monday? If so, that would explain the closed shaft.

It shouldn’t do; any time the doors are open from the 5th D the VVC should be there waiting.

Additionally nothing can be "run over". Anything in the base of the shaft (dropped or otherwise) is well below the lowest level that the VVC drops to.

There's still a few feet of gap between the floor of the VVC and the drop shaft walls, so loose items have the potential to "float" over the vehicle gate and either land on the floor of the VVC or fall to the bottom of the drop shaft.

They should not have had the phone out trying to record the ride . I understand why they did . But its no PoC.
