The thing that gets me is that they warn you to "stay away from boat traffic" when they brief you on renting these boats. A ferry can't turn on a dime like those crafts can. Disney cannot be at fault for this one.
The incident report dates it on 4/22/10.

I tend to agree that they aren't at fault, because it's common knowledge that if you're driving a big truck it can't turn at the same speed a toyota prius can so the same would be true for a boat in water...:shrug:It sounds like it was an awful accident.
It doesn't seem like the ferry captain is to blame.
Ok, I hope the woman is alright, however it sounds like the woman's husband or whoever was driving what I am assuming is one of the small Sea Raycer boats was completely ignorant if they thought that one of the ferry's could maneuver better and quicker than he could. I mean who aims for a large object like this with the idea that "oh, he will move". People like this are why it won't be long before the rest of us can't enjoy renting a boat at WDW.

"He stated that he believed the ferry was going to move away for him and his wife"....
OMG...:lol::ROFLOL:How fast are the ferry's? 5 MPH? Even?
I know this is wrong, but here is an image of them just before the ferry pulled away from the dock...

Based on the location given in that article we are not looking at one of the 2 huge ferry boats on the 7 Seas Lagoon but one of the pontoon ferry boats used by PORS, POFQ, etc.A little more info. http://www.wftv.com/news/23279516/detail.html
