Well, if you do the math, subtracting the numbers removed from the ones created, this attraction may have a nice balance. Zero population growth. And when you count that the toddlers are obviously going to be more evolved than the Darwin award winners who were removed (it has to be, cause toddlers are ALWAYS more intelligent than Darwins...it takes time to grow that unintelligent) the balance is well toward positive agregate IQ.

I know of a crappy way of dying. CMs working the gates at Soarin' get locked inside the theater every once in a blue moon and have to lie on the ground to avoid getting hit by carriages. Or so I've heard. Know they have more thorough dispatch procedures to avoid that happening. Now each CM has to be cleared by the next, until Gate C is cleared by the tower and goes out the utility closet. They hit a button that says "Theater Clear" which lets the tower CM know it's ok to dispatch the ride.

This didn't happen to me, but someone told me this that during this on Grad Nite, this one girl was "Servicing" her boyfriend in HISTA and during the rat part, she got so startled that she bit down on "it" and they had to call for a CFA run, lol, :D

If I'm not mistaken, the majority of those (or at least a large percentage) took place on "Grad Nights"..

They won't say for sure, but I think one of the kids who got hurt/dead on Grad Nite was someone from my old high school. We were permanently disinvited a few years back...

It happened to my roommate's school. One of the Darwins on the PeopleMover died and her school was never allowed to go back to DL.

A good source of information is:

They have a large Disney section and list a lot of the "accidents", they don't call them SG's but its plain to see that most were due to their own stupidity!

I <3 snopes.

But they don't say what school the victims were from, I don't think. One of the kids from Long Beach could have easily been from my school though. My high school has a long tradition of removing people early from the human race.

I don't think they get that detailed on the snopes site. They probably eliminate biographical information for privacy reasons.

ja.

Also, I don't think that snopes covers it all. I've tried to find a complete list of deaths at DLR, but each one is just slightly different..
