Someone Ill On on Tower of Terror

[burbs]

Just seen on the news over here in the UK that a 16 year old has died on the ride. Got off feeling queasy and then died apparently. The Sheriff said that Disney had done everything right, however the ride has been closed for time being

very sad, our sympathies to the family,[grouphug]

that makes me more afraid, i have started thinking i might go on these rides after all not designed to kill but thrill, but now dont think i will go on it.....
bless the poor girl,

I'm sure that the ride is as safe as it possibly can be Leisa and is no way "designed to kill".
When everything comes to light it is quite probable that this girl had an underlying medical condition of which the family were unaware.
It is very, very, sad but no reason for normal healthy people to stop enjoying the theme parks or for people to fear that the rides are in some way dangerous.

According to USA Today the girl has not died but remains in a critical condition. Our thoughts are with the family nevertheless.

The rides are safe and certainly not designed to hurt or harm anyone
The young girl will have a health problem that no ones aware of
So come on Liesa don't let this stop you from enjoying and experiencing a great ride

A 16-year-old British girl remained in critical condition Wednesday after riding the "Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror" ride at Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World, according to Local 6 News.

Latest from the BBC news is that the young girl has had a heart attack and remains in hospital in a critical condition. ToT remains closed whilst engineers check it all over for any anomalies.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the young girl and her family at this awful time.

We too are thinking of the family and hope that it turns out well for the girl and she makes a full recovery.

Just like strokes and arthritis you never think of youngsters suffering from these things but sad as it is it does happen, sometimes without warning.

The reason these events receive so much publicity is because of the fact they are so rare, it's a sad fact of life that around 3000 people died on British roads alone so every incident does not warrant the same coverage as an isolated event.
