But one recent Disneyland Park Guest alleges that being rushed off a Disney ride directly led to a devastating injury.
In what they called “a very unfortunate accident,” the Guest tripped while exiting their Space Mountain ride vehicle.

“When I tripped, I slammed my leg on the ride and my right knee fell on the tile,” they wrote. “The pain was so bad, I thought I had broken my ankle. I didn’t realize at the time it was my left shin that was badly hurt.”
“The Cast Member that helped me was absolutely amazing and made an embarrassing situation so much better,” the Guest recalled. “I’m back at home, covered in bruises and can barely walk… I know we have to hurry to get on and off rides but are now risking getting badly hurt doing so.”

Nevertheless, the Guest praised the Disney Cast Members who stepped in to help. “If it wasn’t for that Cast Members quickly acting I don’t think I would’ve been able to enjoy the rest of our week there,” they said.
While Disney Parks fans empathized with the Guest, many argued the accident wasn’t Disneyland’s fault.
“Sorry for your fall. But as to your last line I’ve never been rushed on or off a Disney ride ever and I’ve been going to DW since the 70’s,” Reddit user u/Weekly-Obligation798 wrote.
Watch your step when exiting any Disney ride, and let Disney Cast Members know if you need any extra time or assistance.
