The injured guests were a family of four and a teenager, said Bo Jones, Reedy Creek's deputy fire chief. They suffered neck and back pain and other bumps and bruises, but no serious injuries. A sensor on the Kali River Rapids ride tripped, stopping it and forcing riders to evacuate, said Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Polak. The injuries happened while people were moving from floats to a walkway, she said, but she did not give details on exactly how they occurred. Disney determined the problem was a faulty exit platform. The park removed the platform and reopened the ride Tuesday. The ride simulates a river rapids trip through a rain forest in the Animal Kingdom part of Disney World. "Nothing like this has ever happened," Polak said.
May 29, 200719 yr I think what Polak meant was "Nothing like this has ever happened BEFORE." Because it has happened NOW.
