An employee at Walt Disney World was injured after being hit by a moving car on the Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom. The attendant was evidently standing in a place that was normally off-limits to employees and was hit by a car on the ride. The victim hit her head during the fall but was breathing and conscious. On Wednesday she took a turn for the worse and it has been reported on some news sites that she died Thursday.

Disney officials indicated that there was not a malfunction with the attraction.

Wen I click on the link I get a page that says, “Article not available.”

Why would she be standing in a place were she could get hit by a vehicle?

I know this had nothing to do with the ride itself, but the ride never seemed that safe to begin with. Anyways, this is really sad.
