Thank you for keeping us posted. I'm glad everyone is ok.
 




We're now hearing that the injuries were not life threatening, and that six people were sent to area hospitals. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

IF someone has mentioned this already in the thread, sorry....

We had an accident here at Six Flags over Texas on the Roaring Rapids, a ride similar to Kali River Rapids. Here the operators had not kept the rafts inflated enough and one overturned. People drowned on the ride.I am glad this accident at Animal Kingdom was minor. But it does remind us that everytime we get onto a ride we really are putting our safety and our families safety into someone elses hands.


I wanna say thanks to all those whose job it is to keep the rides operating safely. Accidents on theme park rides really are rare, and those who operate and maintain them are why.

When I heard that there was an accident at Kali, the 6 flags ride was the first thing that I thought about. I am gald this accident wasn't as bad.
 
We had trouble at Cedar Point in Cleveland the other day too! one of the trains on the Magnum didnt stop and slammed into another train.

It wasn't people..it was one woman...which is horrible, I just didn't want the wrong info out there as I was actually working that day in the park and it greatly effected all the ride operators(myself included). Also the accident was not any of the operators fault, it was a series of strange events that may or may not have been prevented with a little more mechanical attention, one of which was an under inflated bladder within the larger raft tube. Again, just trying to relay the correct info and this is not intended as anything else.
 
My thoughts and prayers are with all of them~!
