On Topic Discussion 2 yo boy killed by alligator at Disney

They will sue and win a lot of money. Poor child. Sort of shocked they kill and don't eat what they kill.

Did the sign warn of alligators? Was there a physical barrier? This was a man made lake, no? Because this is Florida, and DisneyWorld, i think a, "no swimmimg" sign is hardly sufficient.

I agree. Especially when you have a groomed beach.
 
"Victorian elegance meets modern sophistication at this lavish bayside Resort hotel. Relax in the sumptuous lobby as the live orchestra plays ragtime, jazz and popular Disney tunes. Bask on the white-sand beach, indulge in a luxurious massage and watch the fireworks light up the sky over Cinderella Castle. Just one stop to Magic Kingdom park on the complimentary Resort Monorail, this timeless Victorian-style marvel evokes Palm Beach’s golden era."

Their brochure invites it's visitors to bask on the white-sand beach. Thwt is exactly what they were doing. The gator came and grabbed the boy, the boy wasn't swimming.

The lagoon the kid was at wasn't one of Disney's swimming beaches. Don't assume you can use something/it's safe just because it ('it' being large bodies of water) exist somewhere else in a park. Or life, I suppose. That's why there were signs.

Alligators are speedy on short distances, there's no way y'can claim the kid wasn't next to/in the shallows as that's how they hunt. It's a launch, grab then roll/dive situation, generally. I don't even live there and I know that much.

Though now I'd like to know how many warnings people get about an area's wildlife. There's usually signs. Sometimes not so great signs, but there's damn near always signage. But even then you've got stupid fucks trying to get their kids to feed the bears, so.
 
Basically, was there not a picture of a gator on something? Most people don't want their tourists getting eaten - where I used to live there were signs in parks, ect on what you could and shouldn't do, particularly when it involved nature. Mostly nature, actually. Things like a "Stay the fuck there" path + rope combo for cliffs and waterfalls. It's not so much a suggestion as a healthy reminder that there's only so much warning one can give a person. At some point, you're on your own.
 
It takes common since to know that Florida has gators. It is like saying you have to put signs around our saltwater beaches warning you that there are sharks in the water and Florida is the shark the shark bite capital of the USA.

Looks like an inviting spot to wade. In another photo there's 3 children sitting/standing by the waters edge. Well within an alligator's reach. Looks like it was a tragedy in the making.
 
I don't think the parents would have a case in a lawsuit against Disney. The parents had forewarning and probably foreknowledge. The fact that they decided to ignore all that and allow their child to splash about in the water is nobody's fault but their own.

It's sad that the boy died, but it was a foreseeable incident.

Foreknowledge is your guess. The sign warned about getting in too deep, but in fact being close to the water was not safe nor splashing At the very edge. Disney had a duty to warn against alligators if there was a danger. Nebraska does not have alligators.
I would be eager to take the case on a contingent fee basis. It would be money in the bank. It would never go to trial. The insurance company would pay up quickly.
 
I bet it turns out to be one of those immigrant muslim alligators.

Dark humour aside, this is awful news.

And yet I can see at least 2 signs beside the water. There are probably more.

Signs that I can't find one single source that says there was an alligator threat. Just no swimming. I would still have expectations that a place like Disney would protect against something like this happening. You also deleted the part when I mentioned children playing on the water's edge. It was an advertisement by the hotel. Sitting a foot out of the water is just as dangerous as wading a foot inside.
 
This thread has a lot of catching up to do before it reaches gorilla status.
 
I don't think warning signs are enough for them to not win a lot of money --at least in this country --especially if they get a good lawyer----It's Disneyland for kids---there has to be the an assumption of general safety. I mean even in Adventure Land you are not expected to be eaten by a real safari animal or an real alligator. I bet in the future they will trap these things or do something to prevent them from getting into the DIsney water system. I'd get a good lawyer and take Disney to the cleaners.

No one loves the poor alligator. They've already killed at least 5 and will continue to do so.

Unfortunately, a human life was lost.

This is a more appropriate warning sign, don't ya think? Yeah, Disney will surely settle out of court for millions.
 
How very sad.

Regardless of supposed lawsuits and their attending wins, the signage has been enough previously. This is a first for Disney, so I don't buy that they were actually negligent, only technically in the sense that lawyers devise.
