Subsonic Radio

Prayers go out to this man's family....

How tragic! Seems like incompetence and carelessness are not limited to the Monorail management at WDW. Poor guy....

Our prayers are with his family. Somebody explain to me why Disney has shorten training for it CM's?

Because it's cheaper.

I'm surprised they don't have a tag system in place that makes it so that the operator knows the ride cannot be started.

Very true. I am shocked that Disney doesn't have a marker system in place to alert people if there is somebody in a place where they can be injured if the ride were to be turned on.

Also he was not a CM, but a subcontractor. Should be an interesting story to watch unfold.

There is a thing in maintenance called Lockout, Tagout. I just don't think Disney uses this procedure for cleaning. It's sad that it seems Disney thinks it's cheaper to pay a claim then to train the CM's correctly!

"The 53-year-old employee of a park subcontractor was severely injured while working on the "It's A Small World" attraction and taken by helicopter to a hospital where he died."

He wasn't actually a CM. He was contract cleaner. Not that it makes a difference.

So sad, my heart and prayers go out to this family's family and friends.

Tragic. I definitely wish this man's family and friends peace at this difficult time.

I would imagine they use the standard warnings that they use here and in japan (vocal alerts that inform everyone the mechaninsm/s are being started), so it could have also simply been an accident and the person didn't realize the force/danger they were about to encounter.
