A lot of supposition going on. Let's edit the OP's post and fill in the blanks and see if we can come closer to what happened.
During our Thanksgiving trip, we witnessed a group of boys sporting a respectable private school letter jackets -this is irrelevant, but I can't stop dwelling on thme going to a private school and having all that money - on the BTMR ride. From where I sat, These boys pretended to have their lap bars clasped, even acted like they were trying to lift up the bars as the workers went past to check - or so it seemd to me, though I really don't know. But, then once we started out onto the track these three rows of boys all started to stand up on the. Ride. They pretended the lap bars were closed but really were planning to try and stand the entire ride - or so I am assume. One of them even climbed up and was standing on the seat. I was scared to death that these kids were going to get severely injured or worse. One boy was standing up trying to pull the bats off as we. Went through the cave. I think He nearly go this head knocked on the bones as we went by. I kept yelling at them to sit down, they didn't seem to care or listen - even though I went on and on and on . When the ride was over the happened to be a security man waiting where we exited the seats. I approached both the worker and security am. And told them what had happened. Their response to me was, and I quote, "that is not what he is here for!" I don't know if he was there to address this or if the CM would, but felt I should be the only one of all the riders to tell Disney how to do their jobs.I went to the main hall to file an official complaint. - as no one was listening to my rant and giving me the attention I wanted They didn't seem the least bit interested I. What I had to report.- don't understand why they won't all listen to ME as I am the expert and know best what everyone should do. Now, I know they have cameras on all of the rides. It would have been easy for the to check out what I was saying.- and they may have, I really don't know as they wouldn't tell ME who demanded to know how they would handle it. It was pretty much brushed off, and I was never contacted in any way from the company. -not that I should have been, but I love the attention
I was stunned. I can't even believe with all the technology today that the train would even be able to go out onto the track if there were seats not secured. - so it is likely the lap bars were secured, but the boys may have had them loose enough to wiggle out, I really don't know and am ony guessing. If that is the case, the workers need to by physically pulling every single bar themselves!
Surely Disney should have taken that seriously. I took it seriously enough to contact the school that those boys were representing! - because I had nothing else to do and needed some attention. I had their names as I followed and harrassed them to jot down their names and school until they finally had had enough and turned on us to heckle back. They happened to be on a school trip. Thankfully, their headmaster took it seriously enough to actually contact me back! after I made this big deal and tormented him. Too bad Disney didn't seem to care that there could have been a serious accident that evening, and probably potential lawsuits.
My daughter is traumatized, most likely by my going on and on about this all day and now months later too.
