That's why people need to keep their hands, arms, and whole body inside the boat!

They tell you to keep your arms & legs inside the vehicle at all times. This is why!

Exactly

I agree with what everyone else has said, about having to keep your arms and legs inside the boat at all times. Yes, folks, there's a reason! Also, I just want to point out the two big typos that bug me in this article:

• "Mission to Mars thrill ride"

• "Astro Orbiter ride at Epcot"

Sorry, I just felt like I had to say that

Rules, schmules.

I always 'finger fish' in the water on POTC and I still have most of my arms.

You keep rolling those dice, eventually you're gonna come up snake eyes.

I notice how most of those accidents listed are due to pre - existing conditions and Mission: Space.
They do warn you but somehow it's the park that gets the rap.

And when you consider the sheer volume of visitors the parks get, the number of major incidents is surprisingly low.

It bothers me so bad to watch kids put their fingers in the water on water rides..I just keep waiting for them to get their fingers crushed. There is always one who does it. What's worse is the parents or adults who do it. Set bad examples for kids. Really common sense should kick in and tell ya the risk involved by not following the directions.

So is Disney going to make us all sit on our hands now?

My crazy DH always gets some water to get us wet before the big drop on Splash Mountain. I always remind him of the cameras watching him!

To be clear - I don't put my fingers in the water and I still (luckily) have both of my arms.

I was just saying this to my wife today. There are SO MANY people throughout the year that I am actually surprised there are not more issues......but I am glad there are not.

Heck, I remember being amazed at the stories of how they got the parks clear with no incident on 9/11. Four full parks evacuated in under an hour?

Exactly. That is something that is easily overlooked, however that is a TON of people with no incident in LESS THAN 1 hour. Pretty amazing.
