But before landing, the 14-year-old hit a railing which surely added to her injuries which included bruises, cuts, a broken leg, pelvis, and hip.

One young girl made it, the other ran out of the end of the tunnel and off the track platform before free falling to the concrete 30 feet below. They then thought it best to run along the track to hop aboard the next car. Two of the girls exited the car by climbing over the side to retrieve the hat.

In 1972, four teenagers riding the People Mover met tragedy when a gust of wind blew the Mickey Mouse cap off the head of one member of the group as the ride made its way past the Progress City Exhibit. Of course, lawsuits were filed and Disneyland settled with the 23 injured parties (amount unknown) before finally installing non-skid pneumatic tires. One woman smashed heads with her daughter cutting her cheek open on the girl’s hair clip. Then those two cars skidded backwards causing a chain reaction as it threw passengers from the seats and into poles, bars and surrounding walls. The car began rolling backwards, smashing into the front of the trailing car. The vicious People Mover would strike again, but this time it would take on many people at once in 1968 when, during a rain storm at the top of a steep bend in the track, one of the car’s wheels would begin to slip. The ride had to be dismantled to remove the body.

Seems that Ricky and a couple of his friends were jumping from car to car when he slipped and fell to the track.A security officer who was called to the scene looked under the car and noticed the victim’s head had been cut in two. On Aug17-year-old Ricky Lee Yama fell from the People Mover and was crushed to death beneath the ride’s wheels. People Mover - The Slowest Ride at Disneyland can Also be the Most Dangerous has never (and likely will never) commented on this assertion, claims do exist by former cast members (employees) that “no one dies on Disney property.”įollowing is a list of injuries and deaths that have occurred at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California which opened on July 17, 1955. An “urban legend” has it that no one has ever died on Disneyland property because health officials aren’t allowed to declare death until the body has been removed outside the park’s gates. Their thinking is that seeing an ambulance might upset the guests and take them out of their happy “Disney” mood (and therefore spend less money). But when human behavior is factored into the equation, all bets are off.ĭisneyland is often criticized for its reported policy of not allowing ambulances and marked emergency vehicles into the park when needed. That is, people doing something they shouldn’t be doing and getting hurt because of it.Īll in all, Disneyland is a very safe place to visit with family and friends and the company goes to great lengths to keep it that way. Then there is the “stupidity factor” that comes into play all too often. But many of the accidents that take place in the California theme park are due to “Mental fatigue” or people simply not paying attention to what they’re doing. With lots of complicated, whirring machinery, and tens of thousands of victims in the park at any given time, there are seemingly endless opportunities for catastrophe to strike in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Though we all associate the “Happiest Place on Earth” with good, wholesome family entertainment in a safe place that’s far, far away from death, pain and danger, accidents do happen at Disneyland… actually relatively frequently.
