Injury on ET Adventure?

Ah yes the Facebook commenters, such reliable sources

Don't say that around @rastuso...

So someone randomly commenting the same thing happened to their friend without injury should just be not believed because Universal? Stuff happens. Clearly this is an issue that needs a fix, as they are now working on.

I think the fix is in.

I think the fix is in.

Well I think the current fix is likely temporary until a more permanent solution can be implemented?

They’re still just stopping them before and checking before entering unload right?

Stopping and dual inspection of riders while bringing the RV in very slowly. Now they have both sides running with this so I'm pretty sure it is SoP for the life of the ride.

Just saying, someone you don't know is talking about yet another 3rd party. Wouldn't quite consider that a conformation.

Line times with both lines running now, even with the checks, are back to normal, so it shouldn't really be much of an issue for future stand by ride times.

I just think the skepticism in here has been a bit gross... a kid got seriously injured...

That's excellent news.

I haven't said anything negative about the young man, so I'm not sure what that has to do with what I have said. My comment to you was about the reliability of sources, and the same rules apply to incidents. Unless there's actual info it'd just be speculating the details of a completely different event that may or may not have happened.

What if Universal brought back the Spaceships?

I don't know about facebook comment or anything, but I remember that in the blog post Alicia posted here some time ago, a guy claimed something similar happened on USH version of the ride. Of course, anonymously, so it always can be fake, but it can also not be.

Florida seems to have the same procedures in place along with the pre landing stop. Don't know how this plays out but it seems to be a similar incident. Guess the changes took 20 years to prove they were not foolproof.

lol, that lawyer is trying to suck in a star witness there.

Many rides aren't fool proof. I could go to WDW tomorrow and hurt myself on plenty or rides. There are still plenty of pinch points. NOt within reasonable reach, but with long legs, and a purpose, I could irreparable damage myself.

I think an adult wouldn't do this, but some kids are going ot think, wouldn't it be neat if....

People could damage their hands on Pirates and Splash all day long if they wanted to.

I think a simple animated video playing as you come in to unload could work too. Wouldn’t require words just animation of the car with peoples legs and arms outside with the No Symbol and one with all arms and feet inside with a check mark. Put it right in the field of view that you can’t miss. I wouldn’t say take away the TMs doing double checks as it comes in but it’s a supplementary idea.

 

[Stryker]

Or add signs like these right before the unload.

 

[rastuso]

I knew I remembered a similar accident at Disney...

I can only imagine what you could grab on Mr. Toad and Snow White.

They have the keep hands and feet sign at ET's entrance, with graphic, of course. Always have.
