Teen exits Disneyland log flume, falls 50 feet; inspectors find no ride issues
A 13-year-old exited a log-flume boat on Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and fell about 50 feet. California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health found no operational issues and the ride was cleared to reopen; the teen was evaluated at a local hospital and released. The incident has renewed discussion about safety on log-flume rides, with experts suggesting options like lap belts or attendants, though such rides typically forgo restraints. The event is not connected to the 2000 Splash Mountain incident at Disney World.
