Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt.

I did read the whole article and was surprised on the other reports from Disneyland in re to injuries because we never hear of them.

Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt, or at least what we consider seriously hurt.
Does anyone else wonder why suddenly we are hearing these things about Disney? Suddenly there seems to be more "accidents" happening. Or is it because we are more connected and able to find these things out? Just wondering.

I think maintenance will be 'stepped up' at all WDW parks around the world.

Maybe some rides will be shut down once a month for a few hours (as in 5 pm to 4 am EST) for maintenance and rail checks.

If rides which create friction on wires or rails continue to run for 15 hours a day - they will need maintenace.

Think of a baby swing moving back and forth for 15 hours, 7 days a week.
Eventually the bearings will start to wear down.
Or a pool motor running 15 hours, 7 days a week. It would need a new filter change, diatematious earth refill, backwash, chlorine added, etc.

The ride at Disney Parks need some tender loving care by mechanics once in a while.
So if a ride says closed for a few days for maintenance - do not pout, think of your safety
