While that's a fair point, it will not absolve Disney at all. Clearly the design is absolutely ass for it to be this life-threatening to begin with.
This is 101 corporate apologia. Exact same vibes of old lady (with severe burns) v. McDonald's.
No, the McDonald's situation had previous documented warnings to the company that their policies regarding maintaining coffee temperatures that high were a safety hazard that they chose to ignore.
The article says that employees advise every rider of what they need to do for the safety briefing. Have there been other injuries on this ride previously? I can't find anything with a quick search and the article doesn't seem to mention anything about previous issues until this woman ignored the safety advice.
A lot of things, amusement rides particularly, are life threatening if you don't follow instructions.
Some things carry risk. The risk is mitigated by proper use and following instructions. Can't do that or accept the risk? Get out of line.
