TRUE or FALSE: An actual policy at all Disney parks states that "no one is allowed to die on park property"?

In an effort to keep the "magic" from

losing it's lustre

Disney had an added clause to the

Disneyland theme park

" No one is to be pronounced

dead within the park's walls "

At that time many carnivals and

other theme parks did not have many

of the safety requirements that are

standard today, and the accident rate

was quite catastrophic - not to mention the

fatality rate.

Disney decided that his park would be different

and that he could declare "Disneyland" a truly

safe haven for all families..

as such - any accident or fatality that DID occur

within the park would not go reported until that

person or persons were carried well beyond the

gate and OUTSIDE the property

Prior to 2001, Disney was not required to report

these incidents to any authority. As long as a

ride hadn't malfunctioned and as long as the the

death pronouncement came at the hospital and

as long as the medical examiner determined the

death to be the result of a natural cause, there

was no news story.

That's not true today, but yet this policy still effects

Walt Disney World, Disney Land, Disney Cruise

Lines and millions and millions of visitors.

" no one has died in Disney Land... "

meaning that if Disney wasn't responsible,

it didn't happen -

and Disney's park remains "spotless"

**

True or False

**

Update:

FALSE ...

Although an unfortunate accident

could mean bad business for any

theme park,

the thought of trying to cover it up

or act as though it never happened

would be even worse ...

It is true however that Disney has

had a long standing policy of trying

to keep these incidents to a minumum

they have happened and they have

made the news...

although to Disney's credit these

incidents were more due to the

visitor's lack of paying attention to

Disney's code of conduct and

personal safety warnings ...

You must realize that the Disney

theme parks are huge and it

would be a race against time -

which isn't going to happen

    True. While someone may die on the parks grounds, once an effort to save that person's life (CPR) can not be stop until the person is transported to the hospital. Only a doctor can pronounce a person has died.

    that deals with maters of state law, Disney if such a policy did exist the government, and Police, and EM T's would all have to be complicit.

    For disney not to be responsible there would have to be a waiver.
