The public does not get much information regarding these injuries that occur at Universal or Disney Parks. While that is a point of contention for some, Tom Schroder, a spokesperson for Universal gave an explanation as to why: “We report what we observe or are told at the time of injury. Once our guest is transported to the hospital, we do not have access to medical records or diagnosis information due to privacy laws.”

So, what should you do if you get injured at Universal?
