And it is someone else's business when people use their strollers as battering rams and cause serious bodily injury to others but Disney doesn't really do anything about that either... People have been hurt bad enough being hit by strollers that they have been unable to walk the rest of their vacation or they have been left with open wounds. I call that a serious bodily injury. It impacts the rest of their vacation. but no action is taken regarding that matter. So I would suspect since it is a 'privately owned piece of property' just as a stroller is the 'liability will fall on the individual' just like with the stroller episodes. So in the end, more than likely, nothing will be done by Disney.
And there were times that I did have my kids (they were teens...young teens, but teens) move and or ride my scooter for me. Now they knew 'my rules' regarding driving it and I NEVER had a CM say anything to me or to them for that matter. Sometimes (with my condition) I need a break from sitting and riding and need to walk a bit and stretch. So the one of the girls would ride it from one land to the next. Or if I was hurting really bad, they would fetch it for me, like at PoTC where you have to park it at the entrance but you exit at the gift shop. Sometimes after sitting in that boat, I would hurt enough, one would go and fetch it so I didn't have to walk all the way back to it.
And If another guest said something loud enough and intended for my kids to hear their comment, I told them to mind their own business as it belonged to me, it was not a rental, so they were not breaking any rental rules.It's really not that hard to tell a personally owned ecv as the rentals are covered with the ads for the company that owns them. Personally owned ones aren't!
Oh and BTW, my girls started riding gas powered ATVs as young as 3 by themselves in groups on trails so they knew how to steer and dodge obstacles...Trust me I was way more concerned about them hitting a tree or obstacle along the trail or another ATV rider at 25mph than them moving a scooter thru an amusement park. That was nothing for them!!
My husband was injured to the point that we ha to seek medical attention by someone driving an ECv. He was standing still and was hit hard enough to knock him down running over his leg and re injuring his back. He is 6'7 and 230 pounds. It not easy to miss him it to knock him down. Thankfully he wasn't holding our then 16 month old daughter and he was hit not her who was standing two feet away from him. I have never seen a stroller hit cause a guest to seek medical attention more than a brandaid.we also had to leave to park because he could not stand or walk and he spent the rest of the trip on some major pain killers to survive until he saw his back doctor at home. An ECv is a motorized vehicle in an area mainly populated with pedestrians and many o then children. So yes whether it is a rental or a personal ECv irresponsible behavior ie riding with kids on your lap or hanging off the ECv is everyone's problem because anyone can get injured by this behavior. Whether your kids ride atvs which normally are not driven in highly populated areas has no bearing on them driving an ECv in a heavily populated area.
