I feel like it would have been all over the news
It allegedly happened at unload, if what I had heard ends up being correct

But how? I kind of remember you really not being close to the edges unless you broke out of the lap bar.
I think this could be true as the past few days, there's been about 10 or so ET team members outside of the attraction to tell people it's not working... so basically everyone working the attraction if it was up. The only reason so many people are out there telling people it's not open (when really it only takes one person) is because they were scheduled to work these days, meaning this was not a scheduled maintenance. Since they were scheduled, Universal has to let them get their hours that they were promised (or they can probably take an Early Release if they want).
This wasn't planned so I think it's certainly possible and really, it doesn't matter how. A lot of things happen that aren't meant to. And if this is true, someone sustained a life changing injury so the "how?" doesn't really matter

Honestly, if you just slid down a little bit then you could reach the gap
Also, he might have already exited the ride and another train struck him
BDD posted about this on Twitter with screenshots from a TM texting him about it.

I forget where, but one of the things I read said the person didn't lose the foot, but that it was twisted 180 degrees. I think there could be some exaggeration going on with the details, but it definitely sounds like something serious happened. I think the media just hasn't picked it up because they don't have any first hand reports yet, it's definitely not the first time they've missed things like this.
That's what I believe the current situation is. Media hasn't picked it up do to a lack of witnesses/facts, they don't want to start guessing.
My money's on it happening during RtU. An unsupervised 15 year old?
It wasn’t open during either RTU night. And the crowds were actually calm and pretty behaved for this event - a far cry just from RTU 2018.

I was told before RTU on Friday something happened.
I cannot independem confirm anything right now.

I can confirm (was at the park) that the ride was not open on Friday before or during RTU, same on Saturday.

So let’s just say this really did happen and the kid was hurt. Do you think this will impact ET’s lifespan? Nothing worse then having a ride up and running that harms your foot.
Many rides have had guests get injured on them. This specific case shouldn't have any bearing on the ride's continued existence, especially since it (likely) will turn out to have happened because the guest did something that should not have been done on the ride.
If it actually happened at all.

Something happened, but I'm still hoping the story we're hearing is exaggerated.

Maybe only 1 load/unload side is running?
