| Accidents can happen anywhere just seems Disney is having more then their fair share lately. Right now its Summer which means more crowds and more busses running, so it could just mean more opportunity for things to happen. I personally don't think that the busses or monorail are unsafe. It is like riding in a car, it can happen to everyone or anyone at anytime. Luckily no one seems to be seriously injured but that everyone heals quickly.

| It really doesn't surprise me. The way some of the bus drivers drive I'm surprised there aren't more accident. We've rode with many drivers who should have there license taken away. I hope everyone is ok and there are no more accidents. Disney has had more then there fair share this summer.

| Not a good month for Disney transportation! I was reading about it in the Orlando Sentinel - a picture was attached to the article: Twelve hurt when 2 Disney buses crash - OrlandoSentinel.com

| I, too, am not surprised there aren't more accidents on Disney property - if you think about the size of the World, the number of cars/buses, etc. Something very similar happened to us on our last trip. We were coming back from AK during the middle of the day - only 6 people aboard our bus. We made a stop at POFQ to let off two teenagers and our driver pulled out right in front of another bus that was passing him. Our driver had to slam on his brakes, which send DD (7) flying down the side-facing bench seat on her face!!! She wasn't hurt (much), just really scared. If the bus had been full of people, she would have had others to brace her from falling. In any case, accidents happen. We just don't like to see them happen at our Happy Place.

| IMO...it probably happens more then we know...it's just a hyper sensitive issue right now due to the monerail accident...it's the way the media works...for instance, right now in the NE area we have had a couple of elderly drivers involved in car accidents, so now it seems like every time there is an elderly driver in any kind of scrape it makes the evening news...you know it's the "epidemic" of the week! I would have to say that 12 people out of 50 is pretty low. And I'm sure some of those people (and I know this is very synical of me but it seems to be the way of the world) saw $$$ and said "Oh, gonna go to the hospital "just in case" type of thing.

| I hope no-one was seriously injured. Good thing the buses weren't packed full. A lot more could have been hurt.
