    It was the kid’s fault. He was 13 – old enough to know better. I am glad that the boys’ name has not been released – not to give him any acknowledgement, if it was for TikTok or a dare. Hopefully he & his family got a lifetime ban. I think this boy & all who do these stunts, should also be criminally charged. This needs to stop.

      The 13 year old boy should be banned from Disneyland and Disney world. That was very selfish and dangerous to him and those around him, also it puts ride props and animatronics at risk of vandalism. I hope Disney workers have a new rule if you climb out of the ride at anytime without permission, that person should be kicked out of the park and banned immediately for life. When I go to Disneyland or Disney world I will obey park rules and my family members I’m with I don’t want to get in trouble with Disney workers or security.

      Might not have been a dare or a stunt. Maybe he got freaked out at that last drop and decided he was too afraid to go down it. The bigger question would be if anyone else was in the log with him and did they say or try to do something to stop him or did they egg him on to get out

    I’ve been assuming that the boy is autistic and/or has some real problems with impulse control.

      If that was the case the parents would have been right there and prevented the incident.
      But we should NEVER assume. Everyone is responsible for actions…

    Stay tuned for the lawsuit.

    What the artiicle fails to address is whether the boy’s family was present at the time. Did he do it as a stunt, or a dare? Was he with other kids and not with parents? Who knows? There isn’t enough information to decide. Disneyland should not be held accountable either way.

    They could install safety belts on specific logs if the guardian feels the child would benefit from one.
    They could also add a final sign that says, “Stay Seated”, the Adventure is almost over!

    All these teen show offs that does dumb stuff should be ban for life along with the family .No Lawsuits for being ignorant

      Family should only be banned if they were with the kid & didn’t try to stop him. They shouldn’t be penalized otherwise. They should get to enjoy the park without the dumb kid Lol

    If there is a law suit, I can only hope that I can get on that jury.

    The Walt Disney World ride vehicle is totally different. First the DL vehicle is single rider seats with no restraints. The WDW ride vehicle is bench seating allowing up to 3 people to sit across in one row with a lap bar for each row. A much more safe vehicle then the DL vehicle.
