You guys wanna talk car accidents? Lucky for me and my friend it was only an old VW Beetle, we did more damage to its front bumper and hood then it did to our elbows...

I almost didn't respond to this post, because the reporter who made this post, and anyone who follows any agreement with her, all flaming fucking idiots.

The big part about all of this that gets me, is that this is the FIRST and only death that has ever occured on this ride, possibly even the only death that has occured in Disney Land. The reason that they don't have inspections on their rides, is because they're safe. As for the mother, my advice to her is simple, you can't go around blaming everyone else for everything bad, because you fucked up.

As for the end of the news article, this made me smile inside and piss bullets outside. These people, that are getting off of this ride are somewhere between 70 and 80 years old. WTF ARE YOU DOING AT AN AMUSEMENT PARK? You should be inside eating hot oatmeal and watching re-runs of I Love Lucy for fucks sake.

If your 77 and you go on a thrill ride with G-Force, you have no right to complain, because 77 years of learning sure as hell didn't do much for your wisdom.

I wouldn't put my 4 year old kid on this ride, even if he met height requirements, because he's 4. I'll take him to Disney Land when he can remember it. However, if I ever made the mistake to do it, and it cost me something as great as my kids life, I wouldn't go pinning it on Disney...because it's my own damn fault. Sometimes people just need to suck it up and stop being chumps.

Well put.

This thread in one simple equation:

Old people/Young children + Amusement rides = NO YOU FOOLS

That equation doesnt make sense. Aside from the grammatical error, / signifies division.

I should read something like...

Old People + Thrill Ride = Possible death
Young Children + Thrill Ride = Possible death
Therefore, Old People = Young Children

Yeah, I could type out an entire paragraph rephrasing what everyone has already said, but I'll save myself a few minutes.

i was just at disney land a few months ago. i have no idea how anyone could have died on mission space. its not a roller coaster, it doesnt do anything but spin and you dont even know you are spinning, youre not supposed to know. you just feel a little pressure pushing you into your seat.

there isnt anything wrong with old people at amusement parks as long as they arent stupid, my 75 year old grandmother rode space mountain with me. its just they should be careful and not do anything to crazy. it really is just common sense, dont put an old lady with medical conditions on roller coaster.

Okay, while I kind of agree with you guys, you're taking it a little too far.

While yes, the mother should have used her better judgement about it, it isn't ABSOLUTELY her fault. When people go to DISNEY LAND, they expect a certain kid-friendliness on most of the rides, because it is DISNEY LAND. Unfortunately, this can cause sort of a false comfort zone, as it would appear happened in this case.

It isn't like the mom's thinking, This ride could kill my son! Seriously, It's a simulation of a flight to mars. What 4 year old wouldn't want to try that?

[Spyk]

What four year old could handle it, though? It's common frickin' sense. You you let your four year old on a real flight to Mars if he was allowed to go?

[osufan]

I agree with dancingmaniac, that's the parent's fault, not Disney's.

Wtf? Why is it that everything has to be blamed on someone?! This is no one's fault, can't we leave it at that?

[super-smashman]

I don't know what planet you come from but when you put a slash with no spacing it means or.

[blade_of_grass]

I think anyone could be hurt on that ride. My cousin who's 20 went on and threw up and he never get's sick on any rides. I guess it all depends on your body, like if you can stand being spun around and such. But I do blame bad parenting for this one.
