Overview
- Park staff say a cast member monitoring CCTV saw a child leave a log over the weekend and immediately triggered an emergency stop that halted the attraction and prevented further harm.
- This is the third reported unauthorized exit on the ride in about a month, following a June 21 incident when a 13‑year‑old climbed out and fell more than 50 feet and an early‑July adult exit attempt that forced a prolonged stop and backstage search.
- California workplace safety officials inspected the ride after the June fall and cleared it to reopen, and Disneyland says cast members followed standard procedures in the most recent response.
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure uses open, single‑row log boats with no lap bars or seat belts, a long‑standing design that depends on riders remaining seated rather than physical restraints.
- The cluster of incidents has heightened public debate and put pressure on Disney to consider changes to monitoring, guest protocols, or engineering controls even though the company has not announced any modifications.
