say what you will, but it was the guests fault... you don't blame the train for hitting a car at the crossing either..
They have right-of-way, they can't stop on a dime.... IF you don't accept that responsibility, then don't rent a boat. period.
The man said he ran into the ferry. The ferry captain said he ran into the ferry. The police report says the man ran into the ferry.Accidents are never straight forward, in the car, on a boat, whereever they occur. It's fine to try to assume who's at fault but it will always be an assumption.
You failed to conclusively rule out alien mind control as a probable cause.The man said he ran into the ferry. The ferry captain said he ran into the ferry. The police report says the man ran into the ferry.
I'm not sure where the assumption is in this case.
Or TDO...:lookarounYou failed to conclusively rule out alien mind control as a probable cause.![]()
Both are about as equally culpable in this case.:lol:Or TDO...:lookaroun
I didn't say it was Disney's fault! I just don't think someone who has an accident should be subjected to be called a moron etc
I doubt he purposely drove the boat into the ferry that's why its called an accident...most motor accidents are caused or involve very good experienced drivers...same logic here (I think anyway). He was obviously not skilled enough to drive the boat, and so an accident occurred..how does that make him liable for all the negativeness on this board?! How would you feel if he actually uses these boards? It looks like he's from the UK and owns/rents in Celebration probably quite an avid WDW fan and maybe someone who goes on these boards and no one needs to be subjected to that.
It just makes me chuckle a bit that these are Disney boards with the most UNDISNEY people on them! :brick:
I think taking one quote over another is unfair. Yes, if the ferry Captain is correct, then the husband is probably a moron. But until an investigation has been concluded, charges laid and a finding of guilt rendered, all opinions are just conjecture.From the news report:
The captain of the ferry boat, William Green, told investigators he was traveling southbound along a waterway at Disney world and witnessed a small two-seat watercraft traveling recklessly toward his vessel.
Anyone driving a boat, car, hot-air ballon, or kite recklessly will get the moron label from me. The woman in the two-seater is lucky to be alive because her moronic husband was driving that way. But how would you feel if someone on the ferry (such as a small child) was hurt as well? Spare me the righteous indignation on the part of those who caused this incident. Because it's not a accident if someone is driving a vehicle in a reckless manner and fails to follow the proper rules that govern its use...
And as for the "UNDISNEY people" barb, well I think we would all say we're people first an Disney fans/afficianados second. So we, just like you, are all entitled to our opinions. If you don't enjoy them, don't bother reading this thread any more. But don't expect us to stop letting our feelings and opinions be known.

You have chosen to jump to a conclusion that is only supported by a portion of the limited evidence available. I think the poster you quoted is simply pointing out a rush to judgement.
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.

this is why eventually we won't be able to do anything at all that involves any risk what so ever, people are simply idiots.:brick:
