News Tarzan's Treehouse Incident - 11/10

[Phroobar]

Not very funny.

Total immersion. It's perfectly themed to the Indiana Jones ride next door.

I thought it was hilarious.

I quoted the line Short Round says following the clip you posted.

Could something like this happen at Universal?

Probably

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

I’m blaming the guest, yes. When has jumping on a suspended bridge ever been considered a good idea or ever been encouraged when it comes to safety?

What are you talking about? I've never met anybody that doesn't jump on suspension bridges...

You already know what I’m talking about.

I didn’t say people don’t jump on bridges. I said/alluded to the act being stupid.

 

[Phroobar]

I've never seen anyone that doesn't jump and run across the suspension and barrel bridges over at TSI. It's harder to do that kind of thing on the net bridges at DCA.

It's an assumed act as part of having a rope bridge and should be prepared for.

Guests who swing and jump on bridges aren’t thinking about their safety. It’s not a safe thing to do, it’s stupid.

Yes, Disney needs to be up to code and make sure things are safe. Both can be wrong.

That is the whole reason maintenance walks the bridges at TSI each morning and closes them for the day if there is too much water is the pontoons or cracks are forming on the rope bridge. I guess they just missed it at Tarzan's that day.

The bridges are designed with that in mind... Because, again, everybody jumps on suspension bridges. What practical function does a swinging suspension bridge have in a theme park that couldn't have been accomplished with a standard solid bridge? Disney adds bridges like this to attractions because they are fun to play on. That's the whole point.

This was obviously not just a case of guest stupidity.

I stand by what I said. Guests can be stupid sometimes, and this was most likely no different. Should Disney make sure guest safety is up to par? Yes. The attractions are checked daily, so I’m thinking the guest(s) was doing too much.

Both Disney and guests can be stupid. It’s a combination of both.

Stupid.

Look, the Good news is that no one got hurt due to the incident.

Drawback, we (the public) will never know what really happened, and how maintenance is handled on the bridge, as no legal investigation, only an internal one which will not be released.

I confess! I was the 2nd jumper on the bridge! I hid behind the grassy tree trunk.
