This is awful to read. I hope the little boy pulls through.

Oh that is so sad. I don't feel that Disneyland Paris is all that great of a park, from an upkeep perspective. While we were there, I kept pointing out things to my friends about how people could get hurt from poor maintenance. (Debbie Downer here). Not that poor maintenance is necessarily the case here, but I found it interesting when it listed the other injuries at DLP.

I had friends who were working that ride when it happened, it was at the end where the boats queue to get people off and the boy stood up so when the boat behind bashed into them that's what made him fall

An unfortunate accident, but an accident nonetheless. Sounds like the parent should have kept the kid sitting. Maybe it all happened too fast. But, it will be a sad day if/when one must wear a 5 point harness and be "locked" in to ride something as simple as POTC due to our (generally speaking) litigious society.

If the boy don't sit, you must acquit.

That's very sad that it happened. But I know at WDW that most accidents happen due to people not following directions and for stuff that is mostly there fault. I know sometimes accidents happen that are Disney's fault.

Yes Colonel very bad! But if I was having a dinner party, I would like to invite you, I don't think there would be any dull moments with your wicked sense of humour!

Good food, good company, and bad jokes. Sounds like a plan.

Remember Robyn, we did share a funnel cake.

Very saddened by this.
In reflection - anyone think this mean they'll be redesigning the boats to include seatbelts or a lap bar soon?
