some things are off

[Pumbas Nakasak]

Best I post some photos of my soon to be son in laws feet then.

The lights are meant to dispurse light and add a decorative touch not meant for people to sit on them, lean on them, drop kick or play leap frog on.

I completely agree. However, Disney is in a unique situation because, as the self-proclaimed destination capitol of the world, they have visitors of every conceivable nature. Consequently, there is greater foreseeability as to the (intentional and unintentional) spectrum of the behavior of their guests. There's a reason for why props in attraction queues are glued or nailed down. Sure, we generally understand that we shouldn't touch things, or move things around, but Disney knows that props will be touched, and acts accordingly. Similarly, many facets of the parks are built to withstand the test of time ...and probing by guests. Even if the guest is in the "wrong," or is merely careless, Disney owes all guests the highest duty of care for their safety (legally and morally). We know that we shouldn't step into ride vehicle traffic, but rides have hydraulic gates. We know that we shouldn't get out of a moving ride vehicle, but there are surveillance cameras and pressure mats, etc. If it's reasonably foreseeable, appropriate safety measures need to be taken. :sohappy:

Does "fixing it" mean that the lamp is merely returned to its upright position, or, maybe these lamps should be reinforced with the appropriate support so that something so large, heavy, and electrical does not topple over so easily...? The scary part is the danger that's not obvious when the lamp is returned upright, that is, electrical wiring near a ground-level water fountain where children play. :shrug:

Or maybe, just maybe people and their kids learn to respect the property and then you dont have to worry about a metal light post being torn out of the ground. I understand that accidents happen however they happen more frequently when people care less.

Notice the water fountain (play area) adjacent to the exposed electrical wiring. :brick:

I remember this photo...that was taken SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

I wonder which of the peeps standing in the background broke it?

"Peeps" are ALWAYS guilty of something!

I'm still laughing over the peeps comment.

As one might tell from the fact that LoW is in the background.

You know, I don't mind the minor infractions and misdemeanors, but the murders really make me angry.

This is a thread hijack. I'm taking over your thread. We will now be discussing things that WDW does to improve the quality of your life. WE WILL NOT BE DISCUSSING THE WAND, THE HAT, THE FLE, SCOOTERS, MULTIPLE RESERVATIONS, DISCOUNTS, DDP, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH. We will also not be posting pics of cast members that may cost them their jobs. Thank you. Enjoy your thread.


EDIT ~ Please add pool hopping, tour groups, teen groups, summer crowds, EMH, broken transportation, why offsite guests shouldn't get bus access, broken effects, the decline of menu quality, etc...

You mean I can't do this ?

[wvdisneyfamily]

No, Dave, there will be no more...

 

[wvdisneyfamily]

Please refrain from discussing resort mugs and bringing infants to WDW. :fork:

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

You do realize. The standard term for all of this is called Bad Show right?

 

[wvdisneyfamily]

Hey, Cmdr_Crimson, I really like your signature. LOL :ROFLOL:

And it still hasn't been fixed!?

Just what I expect from Disney nowadays.

TDO is probably counting all the money they are saving by not fixing that light.

Or perhaps they slashed the training budget?

:lookaroun

 

[ClemsonTigger]

I would bet that was very rapidly fixed. Looks like the photographer got there just as it occured.

Or caused it...

It is also an outdoor wired lighting fixture...forget the play area it rains occasionally in Florida :brick:
