Prayers for Another Accident Victim

[Feralpeg]

I'd like to ask for prayers and good thoughts for another theme park worker injured this past week. I know we are focused on the horrible tragedy at WDW today, but there was another recent accident at an Orlando theme park. A theme park worker at Universal's IOA was badly injured while working on the Dueling Dragons ride. He was struck by a car and suffered a severe head injury. We never stop to think about how really dangerous some of the jobs are at theme parks.

If you have a minute, a few prayers his way would be appreciated.

You are right. As tourists we do not stop and think about the workers who keep the parks safe for us. I'll say a prayer for the worker from Universal and his family.

So much bad luck recently...lets hope we don't have to hear about any more tragedies at any park for a long time.

How horrible! Prayers being said for his family.

ETA: Peg, do you know how he got hit by the train? I work a similar roller coaster, and we look at other incidents so we can make sure that they do not happen here.

All I've heard is that it was prior to park opening. Some speculation on the part of the news media said he was picking things off the ground that people on the ride had dropped.

I've only heard that he is still in serious condition.
