has anyone ever died at disney world?

Question

has anyone ever died at disney world?

Answer 1

Some random accidents have occured. Some people who had pre-existing conditions participated in attractions that they were not supposed to and ended up dying. And there have been a couple of stupid guests who basically caused their own deaths.



But all in all, looking at their history, the number of visitors per year, and the number of years they have been open, it's one of the safest parks ever!

Answer 2

I heard about a guy that was dressed as Pluto getting run over by a float during a parade a couple of years ago & he died...in front of a bunch of families too...terrible.



There was also a tram crash a few months ago that injured a few people...not sure if anyone died.



There was also a boy riding his bike by the Wilderness Lodge campsite that was run over & killed by one of the Disney buses a few months ago. So sad.

Answer 3

Incidents At Disney World

Answer 4

People most definitely die inside of the Disney parks. However, Disney would love to maintain their fantasy image, that nothing bad could happen while you're there. Given the fact that the Disney company is very involved with the media, much of what happens there actually escapes the news altogether, and what does leak out tends to be less sensationalized than many other stories. My husband works for Disney, and he has so many stories of things he's witnessed himself and things that veteran cast members have seen happen. Don't believe that bad things don't happen at Disney!

disney land resort



As of December 2006, 13 guests and one employee have died inside the parks. A greater number of guests have been injured. While the California Department of Safety and Health (CDSH) has ruled that some incidents are Disney's fault, the majority of incidents were due to negligence on the guests' part.



many more...:)

Answer 6

yes, I remember reading about someone who fell out of one of those cars that used to go above the whole park. Let me see if I can find more info.

Answer 7

Yes, sadly, the Most happiest place on Earth HAS had a few deaths.



But I only remember one:

There was an old lady going on Mission: Space. When she entered the ride and it had started, she was having fun until the ride said the mission went wrong, like it always does (that's the whole point of the ride). She got all worried and got motion sick or something, couldn't handle all the jerks and bumps and force of moving up. She had a heart attack and died.



But hey, this was an old lady. We shouldn't worry that much. Although I do feel bad for her.

Answer 8

I did....xD
