Disney’s Killer Ride

Another person has died after riding the Mission: Space ride at Epcot in Disney World. She was dizzy and sick after getting off the ride and died at the hospital later. Disney has shot the ride, but it will reopen after tests show that it is functioning properly.

I think that there is likely to be a little fear about this event, but it is important to keep the fact in perspective that millions visit Disney parks each year, and very few of them actually die there. You have to figure that people are bound to die there just by chance. Roller coasters and other thrill rides are intense, and meant to scare a little. You have to figure that this will be enough to kill some people with existing health problems.

Still too bad that someone has to die while trying to have fun.
