A_Titanic_Mess Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070529/ap_on_...BcDow_aIYVvzwcF Five visitors to Walt Disney World and an employee suffered minor injuries Tuesday while evacuating a water ride that had malfunctioned, authorities said. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think what Polak meant was "Nothing like this has ever happened BEFORE." Because it has happened NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
