Six injured while evacuating Kali River Rapids
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting this morning that six people, including a cast member, were injured yesterday while evacuating Kali River Rapids. The ride itself was not the issue, but the way riders were taken off during a shut down.
Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said the company conducted safety checks of the ride and did not find any problems.
It did determine, however, that the platform used to evacuate people from the ride vehicles “disengaged and slid.”
None of the injuries appear to be serious, and the ride has reopened.
