Look at the pics of the area where the kid was attacked. It is a sculpted, white sandy beach. It looks like a swimming beach, not an alagator lagoon.
Disney inc. is up to their eyeballs in liability, signs or not.
Attractive nuisance .
Why Disney did not fence in those beach a decorative fence .
Sorry but the alligators can’t tell the difference between a swimming beach and an alligator lagoon. In Florida, residents know that there can be alligators in any body of water, including swimming pools. Would you consider making everyone in the state liable?
I keep saying the state should put up signs at the border saying “Alligators sighted — enter at your own risk.” Or, “Alligator country, Keep Out” There are millions of gators all over Florida. Running into one is the risk you take whenever you go near a body of water.
Absolutely. Disney’s advertising alone gives families an expectation of safety, and happiness. The theme parks are able to create magic in almost every area of the facilities, they actually suspend belief with their attractions and I can see families, even if they think of alligators, as believing if Disney can do all they do, there is no way they would allow such a hazard in their park and not even giving it a second thought. A Beware of Alligators sign is the last think Disney wanted to post because it belies the image they want to project. This is pure and simple negligence, so much in fact, that Disney will beg to pay the family. If I were the family I would take it to court to make sure that Disneys negligence was exposed.
You're absolutely right...and a family from Nebraska would have no reason to expect an alligator attack at a beach like that if there were no proper warning signs.
Exactly, and they show Disney movies on the sand on the other side of the pathway, attracting families with small children in the dark evening hours.
My own little grandchildren have been right there many times, and by the grace of God, it didn’t happen to them. It could have. The little one did nothing that my own grand children hadnt’ done. I am anguished by this.
