What four year old could handle it, though? It's common frickin' sense. You you let your four year old on a real flight to Mars if he was allowed to go?

I agree with dancingmaniac, that's the parent's fault, not Disney's.

I think anyone could be hurt on that ride. My cousin who's 20 went on and threw up and he never get's sick on any rides. I guess it all depends on your body, like if you can stand being spun around and such. But I do blame bad parenting for this one.

I must say that I agree with deltro because sometimes accidents happen. Its not always someones fault and I think its funny that everyone blames the mother because she let her child go on. She may have thought that it was a safe enough ride for her child to go on and didnt think twice about sending a four year old onto a ride like that. That doesnt make her a bad parent, she just wanted her child to have fun, she didnt know that that would happen.

Meh, I still think it's funny that the kid died from a ride that he really shouldn't of been on. Oh and this 2% of kids not having done pot shit is bs alright. Whoever made that up is full of shit.

They warn people about the things health problems can cause before you go on a ride. If you have a heart disease and you ride a rollercoaster and die, you're the f**king idiot, not disney or any other amusement park.

Anyways, my take is this. For one, height limits are so you can fit in the restraints. Weight limits would be useless because weight has little to do with what happens to you on a ride. Age is too variable: there are 80 year olds who could outrun, outlift, AND outsmart me, and there are 25 year olds who break something when they stub their toe on a doorframe. Things like excessively long hair should be a common sense thing. This was a mistake. It wasn't Disney's fault, and it wasn't the mother's fault. Like zildjian said, shit happens. People get killed by the tons by getting struck by lightning, crossing the street, and staring at a computer monitor until their muscles are too weak to get them to food. Just about anything could kill you, and most of the time it's just dumb, crappy luck over anything else. If a ride crashed because of a faulty whatever and everybody was killed, it was Disney's fault. If the mother was presented with big, obvious signs that said "FOUR YEAR OLDS SHOULD NOT GO ON THIS RIDE", then it was her fault. I don't know how obvious or specific the warning signs were, but from my perspective, this was all an accident. We should all feel bad for the mother's loss, but this shouldn't serve as grounds to sue or rewrite legislature. |
