LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - A 4-year-old boy died after passing out aboard Walt
Disney World’s “Mission: Space,” a ride so intense that it has motion sickness
bags and several riders have been treated for chest pain.
Daudi Bamuwamye died Monday afternoon on the attraction, which simulates a
rocket launch and trip to Mars.
The Orange County Sheriff’s office said the boy met the minimum 44-inch height
requirement for the ride at the Epcot theme park, which uses centrifugal force
to simulate twice the normal force of gravity.
An autopsy was expected later Tuesday to determine the cause of the boy’s death.
Boy was rigid, then limp
Officials said the boy, from Sellersville, Pa., was on the ride with his
mother, Agnes, and a sister.
During the ride, the mother noticed that Daudi’s body was rigid and his legs
were stretched straight out. She told detectives that she thought he was
frightened so she took his hand.
“When the ride ended, the victim was limp and unresponsive in his seat,”
according to a sheriff’s office report.
Paramedics tried to revive him, but he died at Celebration Hospital.
The $100 million ride, one of Disney World’s most popular, was closed after
the death but was reopened Tuesday after company engineers concluded that it
was operating normally.
Motion sickness bags
In 2003, Disney began placing motion sickness bags in the ride.
During an eight-month period in 2003-04, six people over age 55 were taken to
hospitals for treatment of chest pain and nausea after riding “Mission:
Space,” though none of them was found to have any serious problem.
At that time, it was the most hospital visits for a single ride since
Florida’s major theme parks agreed in 2001 to report such problems to the
state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Updated figures were
not immediately available.
One other death was reported at Disney World this year. A 77-year-old woman
who was in poor health from diabetes and several ministrokes died in February
after going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at the Magic Kingdom. A
medical examiner’s report said her death “was not unexpected.”
Warning signs
Signs warn visitors about the intensity of the “Mission: Space” ride.
“For safety you should be in good health, and free from high blood pressure,
heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions that can be
aggravated by this adventure,” one sign on view last year said. Signs also
warn pregnant women not to go on the ride.
Florida’s major parks are not directly regulated by the Department of
Agriculture; state law exempts large, permanent amusement parks that have
their own inspectors from state oversight. But the parks agreed to share
safety information in 2001.
Disney officials said in a statement after the boy’s death that they were
“providing support to the family and are doing everything we can to help them
during this difficult time.”
