Guest Loses Fingertips on Pirates of the Caribbean

Hey folks, you know those annoying announcements about keeping feet and hands inside the ride vehicles? Well apparently that’s for a good reason.

It seems on Thursday, a guest ignored those warnings and stuck his hand in the water as the Pirates of the Caribbean boat was descending the short waterfall. Result? Two missing finger tips. The guest was treated and released. None of the injuries were life-threatening. Officials closed the ride for inspection and it was deemed safe. The finger tips have not been recovered though.

So lesson out there. Yes the safety spiels are there for a reason. Please keep your hands and feet inside the ride vehicle… and please watch your children.
