No Leaning on the Rails, For Goodness's Sake

This one just takes the cake, IMO.

Anyway, this guy was leaning on the rails while holding a stroller. Of course, I tell him to get off the bloody thing before something happens.

I get rotated to another position, and, in good SG fashion, he goes back to leaning.

Five minutes later, I hear a yell and see the guy tripping. Even worse the stroller launches and the girl inside goes flying, landing on the ground. Thankfully, she didn't hurt herelf, but it could have been much worse.

Idiots. I tell you, idiots.

Actually, you won't belive how hard I had to resist saying "I told you so...", lol.

And truth be told, the guy treated the whole thing like it was an everyday occurence o-O. Heck, we had to force him to take ice for her head.

Oh crap! The SG's are evolving! They've become impervious to pain! Do you know how dangerous this could be for us all? Not only are they idiots, they're idiots who are unstoppable! :eek: [Insert Terminator 2 theme song here.]

I witnessed a similar thing at DisneyWorld this past summer. We were in line at Splash Mountain and the guy in front of us was paying no attention to his kid behind him who was sitting on the chain/ropes. A CM warned him twice, heid tell the kid to stop then pay no further attention. Well, the kid fell and hit his head so hard on the concrete that I could feel the vibration in my shoes.

SG picks kid up and tells him to stop crying or they wouldn't be able to ride.. and also, don't tell mom..

The only good thing I could think is maybe the kid learned why you shouldn't sit on the rails/ropes/chains... But probably not.

I was in line for Finding Nemo. Two CM's are watching the line, a kid does something causing it's stroller to fall back, I hear one of the CM's go "nice!"

I laughed after I saw no one was hurt.

And thus..the great circle of life for an SG is started all over again...

LOL...I love it. I've seen guests come into City Hall to complain that the rails broke and they're going to get a lawyer. They say they aren't injured enough to even need to go to first aid for ice (we asked more than the required 3 times) but it WAS somehow OUR fault that they sat on the rail, were asked to get off the rail, ignored the CM, then it broke and they fell on their arses and this was such a big deal that they were threatening lawsuits. Serves 'em right, glad the little girl was OK though - I hate to see SGs get their kids into bad situations.

When they do that, why don't they throw them out for being stupid and not listening to the CM's that only had their safety in mind when the told them NOT to set or lean on the rails!! Duhhhh!

Too bad the CMs can't toss them out. Of course it's all the CMs fault because they didn't tell them '25' times with a gun to their heads. If they had,the SGs would have 'bitched' that their day was ruined,"I did'nt get a chance to hurt/kill myself,and sue the shit out of you for my own 'stupidity'". :mad:
