Sitting on handrails and chains...

[Karnever]

YES!!.... one time jungle went 101 because a lady got her knee caught in the slats of the wall of the queue.

That was always fun to see peoples knees stuck in the Queue railing and the sheer panic in there face as they cant get there leg out...

My favorite at Jungle was the guy in upper 1 that dropped his glasses over the railing he decided to lean over and grab them by stepping on a part of the queue railing which then under his weight snapped. he lost his balance fell over the railing hit the tarp below bounced off of it and landed in the water at no mans.. meanwhile his family is upstairs looking down laughing at him..he said he was ok and refused to see the nurse his family waited in the whole line laughed at him as they got on the boat and enjoyed a trip through the jungle while he was left standing soaking wet with jungle water at the unload dock.. he was lucky that the boat in no mans just moved up to load or he would of been in a lot of pain... that was good times

My favorite: Somehow, kids knees always grow after they get into the queue at Dumbo. I can't tell you the number of times I rescued stuck Toddlers.

Fences at the WDW Railroad stations at Frontierland and Toontown are also great knee traps. We used to have a steel stantion at Frontierland to bust apart the wooden pales, but they took it away from us. Won't even let us keep suntan lotion to help lube the legs.

Current Official Policy is to call for a paramedic/rescue squad each time it happens. The hope is that once the expense for paramedic runs gets high enough, upper management will finally authorize new fencing.

Could be worse, at least we don't have to kill anybody to make a change.

One time some kid got his head suck in the iron fence at Backdraft ( outside int e queue). Even better, he was stuck on the stationary part of the fence, but there was a rolling gate to allow trucks and stuff in after closing. Well, if anyone was to roll the gate, little Caleb would be decapitated (or something). So yeah, we called the on lot FD.

A year or two ago, I was standing in line for Haunted Mansion right outside the front porch, and some kids (pre-teens, I think) were sitting on the chains up ahead of me, I didn't pay much attention but before I knew it I heard a snap sound and the next thing I knew, they were on the ground. the CM nearby said something like "That's why you don't sit on them" and I remember clapping and saying something to the kids like "Nice". I don't think they heard me, but some people ahead of me laughed.

^ That's what they get. They know not to sit on those things, they won't hold up weight well. If I were a guest, I would have laughed too.

When I worked at Knott's, on the Calico R.R., I swear they got worse and worse about the chain across the queue that was used when we had a concert on the stage in Ghost Town. They would climb over it, unhook it thinking that was the way to get in, or sit on it. This despite the fact that there was a sign on it saying it was not an entrance--but you know how it is with guests and signs.
At first, only occaisonally someone would mistake the chain for the entrance and attempt to climb over it. Then we had people in queue sitting on it, then people trying to enter the queue--despite a sign over the depot door saying "Enter", a big green portable sign that said "Enter", positioned so it in effect pointed to the door, and the ride rules sign right by the door, which also marks it as being the entrance. But people would actually get dumber and dumber, and they kept sitting on the chain. One day, it ripped right out of the side of the depot wall, and we had to call maintenence to fix it.
I swear, if people get any dumber, we'll have to water them twice a week.

Hey, now! Don't insult plants, most plants are smarter than the average SG!

If you thought handrails and chains are bad, I was walking to the exit of Splash Mountain and I saw a father letting his 2 younger kids climb up the rocks to a area that was over 10 feet off the ground. If the kids were to fall, SG dad would be at full blame. :mad:

Hmmm...
That's probably true.
