This ride doesnt seem to be doing very well. And either does Mission Space.
This is Mission: Space that we are talking about! Lol.
I believe I read that 8.5 million people have been on this thing since I opened...so far, only a few have gone to the hospital...that really isn't that bad.
And so far, as stated above, there is no evidence that the ride had caused the death.
Although height restrictions are traditionally set based on compatibility with the restraint, I am willing to bet that Disney has already considered age as a safety factor....after all, they are the ones that get sued...they'll want to consider every scenario.
BTW...
NOW that the ride is out of question, the Disney Medics are being questioned.
From the Orlando Sentinal (11/15/05):
Despite being certified to perform CPR, two attendants who observed Daudi Bamuwamye being carried motionless from the ride did not check his pulse and thought he had passed out, according to a recording of their 911 call.
The Disney workers did not begin CPR for more than 2 minutes before being prompted to start by a 911 dispatcher.
No one has commented on whether the delay might have contributed to the child's death.
...and just when you thought it was over with!
