Teenager sues Disney after suffering heart attack on rollercoaster
13th February 2009
Actually, if it’s only 10 grand, they’ll probably pay it just to get rid of her. An American would have sued for 10 million.
Considering the hundreds of thousands of people who have ridden on that ride without untoward result, Disney ought to counter sue the girl and her mother for “negligence in her design and operation”.
And claiming that a fairground ride makes Disney a “common carrier” is absurd when talking about a mechanism that delivers you right back to the point where you started. If she had been on the monorail, or even a golf cart, she’d have a case. But not a roller coaster.
And anybody who gets on a ride named “The Tower of Terror” really deserves whatever she gets.
If I were Disney, I’d have her whacked. It wouldn’t cost all that much more, and it would remove her from the gene pool. In fact, have her mother whacked too; venality probably runs in the family.
