When you think you've seen it all - this happened at Kilimanjaro Safaris

[dlfan1313]

I feel bad for the poor guy. No matter the circumstances (assuming natural causes) that led up to the leaking event, I'm sure it wasn't his first choice. I hope Disney handled it with some dignity.

I presume given the lack of impulse control (and self awareness) that he’s neurodivergent. That makes this sad to watch for all involved. He needs help, not prison.

This is an awfully big presumption to make. Occam’s razor: WDW and Florida. Maybe he can get help and prison.

I feel like it’s useless to speculate on this case. 100% deserves a kick out of the park but there’s so many factors that we don’t know that I don’t feel comfortable demonizing or defending him either way. If this was a super long stop (which is very possible) and he could not hold on any longer and this was a technically “safe” place would be a very different story than if he just decided to get on the ride with a full bladder and get 2 minutes in and decided to ped in front of everyone. Either way though this is very dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. If I was Disney, I would honestly have no idea how to handle this

That’s kind of the scary thing - when these things happen Disney doesn’t seem to have a plan.

Now to be fair, I don’t think anyone was thinking there would be someone jumping off the truck to go pee in th safari with dangerous animals and then hop right back on no problem. I’m assuming the cast member froze at this point because it’s seemingly not just being malicious and running a fool. He wasn’t in immediate danger based on where the ride this is in. The safest option at this point was to treat it like a regular person getting off the ride, stop the ride and have th person get back in then have security deal with it later. Security…I’m sure this is probably the first time they’ve had this incident happen so it makes sense to kick out of the park for now and keep their information in case it’s decided it’s best to ban for ever

As a neurodivergent adult with a level 2 autistic brother, uh, no.

Even if he is (which it doesn't strike me that he is just watching the video) it's no excuse for this type of behavior. It's also insulting to other neurodivergent people who DO manage to follow the rules.

Watching it several times, I think it's probably someone who thought the safety rules were more of a suggestion.

 

[JMcMahonEsq]

He has like 40 people watching him. Stage fright.

What an idiot.

What else should have happened?

I mean leaving aside the idea that the guy just did this as a joke. If the situation was that he just couldn't hold it any longer, either because he has some medical problem, the ride took longer than he thought it would, or there was a hold up in the ride itself which caused it to go longer...what do you think should have happened? He should have just peed himself on the jeep? Get himself wet, the people sitting around him, the vehicle itself, and now everyone has to finish the ride covered in pee? Sure he likely will and should be thrown out after, but honestly if the damn was bursting, was there a better option than going in a spot off to the side, not surrounded by animals, and not getting other visitors in the splash zone?

Doesn't have a plan.,..... what kind of plan do you expect for Disney to have in this type of situation? Other than having every ride vehicle be fully enclosed and/or everyone locked into their seat on every ride, what kind of plan do you think Disney should have to prevent this from happening? Should they have snipers along the entire route to tranc anyone who leaves the jeep, and then wisk them off to an undisclosed location?

Also, besides the prisoner solution above, how do you think Disney should have handled this any differently? Force the guy to stay on the ride and pee all over himself, the ride vehicle, and all the people sitting around him? That was the better solution? Scan everyone who gets on the ride to make sure their bladders are empty? Install port a johns on every jeep?

An pretty unusually event occurred which, from the limited information we have, resulted in a ride being stopped for a small period of time. No one was hurt, no animals were hurt, no damage was done to the ride vehicle, or the ride itself. How much better could the situation have been handled?

Everyone knows the only appropriate ride to jump off if you gotta go is Jungle Cruise and specifically the backside of water

Look at Universal's containment requirements, lots of downsides but also very hard for guests to get out.

I’m not sure. What plan do you think is appropriate?

 

[JohnD]

Unfortunately, I can. It's the way of the world now.

It happened on Living with the Land. Someone jumped off to grab a cucumber. (No, I don't know why). Recently, I've seen videos of people sloshing around in the water of IASW but I'm not certain if that was verified or AI.

 

[celluloid]

I cannot even believe this happened. I need the part two to see how Disney handled it. Love the guy asking if he's going to wash his hands. Feel really bad for the kids. Have a feeling their trip was cut quite short.

I feel bad for his kids beyond the vacation time. Because they live with that level of judgment.

I feel bad for everyone on board because that something that marrs them on some level, and disrupted enjoyment for a lot of people in various capacities.

I bet the CM was just in disbelief and quick thinking to ask him not to climb back in, even though he even scaled the truck to get to the driver.


There is also a chance this guy may now have to register as a SO.

lol no, he didn't wave it around pointing out animals

 

[Captain Barbossa]

(sigh) Time to increase ticket prices

 

[celluloid]

There were children on board and with definite audience. It is not a big chance, but there is a chance that, this is perused as such, particularly when children are present.


Either way, we will very likely see more of this guy and this incident from police cam footage one day.

I've seen parents drop their kids pants and pee in a cup in the middle of crowded DAK, I don't think this is all that new except he got off a ride to do it. He'll probably get trespassed which feels appropriate.

 

[Splash4eva]

His child is on the tram. You cant just take the guy to jail and leave the child to fend for themselves.

Why not? Guy wants to be a complete moron and a disgusting disgrace to humanity. Too bad. Not to mention exposing himself like that in front of other children and guests.

 

[JohnD]

From what we've read they were almost at the end of the ride and were by the goat section. No excuses but you gotta hope that he was in such dire straits that either he relieves himself immediately outside the truck or he was going to burst and make a mess inside the truck. If only he could wait a few more minutes and make it to the closest restroom. (Going behind a tree on the walking trail after exiting is just as bad but at least he wouldn't have jumped out of a ride vehicle.)

If it's not that then he either willfully wanted to do what he did or was mentally deficient and didn't know any better.

That is not the same as the potential risk of exposing your adult self to an audience. Really not comparable circumstances. And again, I said risks potential. Not that he is.

While I clarified not likely, we(thankfully) are possibly not seeing anything more in what occurred. He is getting a minimum of 500 dollar fine for the Second-Degree misdemeanor and a trespass for sure as that is pretty much the MINIMUM. in the state of FL.
