I just saw on Court TV News that WDW is being sued for wrongful death by the mother of the 4 year old who died on Mission Space last year.

IMHO ..I feel bad [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] for the family of the little boy and will keep them in my prayers. However I wouldn't take a 4 year old on Mission Space [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/082502no_prv.gif[/img] !

Also you take risks when you ride anything and if they didn't know he had a problem how could WDW?

No surprise here. Of COURSE there will always be someone ready to sue Disney because they have "deep pockets" and will most likely settle out of court. The fact that a parent should take responsility for what they do and don't permit their youngster to ride is a moot point; WDW has "caution notices" posted EVERYWHERE and I have always found the CM's to be very honest when I ask them their opinion of a certain attraction if I am concerned with my health. All of the $$ in the world won't bring that little boy back, but I will bet that the family gets some monetary settlement from Disney............

That is very sad. And I agree that a large lawsuit will come from this. When I went to Disneyland last time somebody in the line for Indiana Jones(The ride) was haveing what appeared to be a heart attack. Cast members were doing what they could until the ambulance got there. Disney(land and world) are very large areas with a very large pouplation(most of the time) illness happens. So does death. Its sad.

Wow. Was that December 2005? We were on our "Grand Tour" (DL, WDW, DC)and came across a similar incident at the IJ ride. I thought the CMs handled things quite well, considering!
