Boy breaks finger, severs thumb on Disney ride

ANAHEIM, Calif. The Storybook Land Canal Boats ride is back open today at Disneyland, after an accident cost a young boy part of his thumb.

The four-year-old broke a finger and severed the tip of his thumb when his fingers were pinched between the boat and a dock Wednesday.

The accident forced the ride to close for nearly two days while investigators looked into the accident. They've directed the California resort to lower and repair rubber bumpers along the dock's edge, and to make sure workers tell passengers to keep their hands in the boat while it docks.

I sure hope the family doesn't sue. IMO it is clearly the parent's responsibility to keep their child's hands and feet inside the ride vehicle at all times. Which I'm sure they were told before they got on.
