The Disney Deathtrap

The Happiest Place on Earth seems to be turning into the Deadliest Place on Earth here. I wonder how this girl died in the wavepool? She was lying down on a ledge and then passed out after she tried to stand up. Hmm, could be a heart arrithmia or something. This part is kind of scary though:

Three other people have died this year at Disney World, out of the millions who visit the park each year. Two of the victims were adults in poor health, while one — a 4-year-old Pennsylvania boy who died while riding Epcot's "Mission: Space" in June — remains under investigation.

In addition, a 16-year-old British girl suffered cardiac arrest last month after exiting "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" ride at the Disney-MGM Studios. She was still in critical condition Friday, but her family has blocked release of further details of her illness.
