[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How dumb are these parents? Who in the United States doesn't know that ANY body of water in FL (besides the ocean), no matter how pretty or inviting it may seem likely has gators and/or venomous things. I love that we're splitting hairs between swimming and wading, when this child shouldn't have been touching water, period. Even if the signs don't say it - why risk it?

Wonder how close the dad was to the kid - bc I would think a dad standing right there could grab the kid under the armpits end pull hard enough to pull him out. Though I guess that also depends on the gators grip.

Sad but I don't want to see Disney paying out huge sums here.[/quote]

Who gives an eff what some mega corporation has to pay.  I'd sue them out of existence.  In America, anything is possible with a jury.  I hope we hear about the first trillion dollar award.[/quote]

Not going to happen. It doesn't mean it was the parent's fault. But it wasn't Disney's either. Again, would you sue a county beach for a shark attack?

This story has more details, and it looks like the child was pretty far in the water.

well the thing is, here usually ARENT gators there, this was a freak thing. has not happened in 30 plus years of Disney operating

Hmm...from the picture in that article it appears that the signs only said “Steep drop off, Deep water, no swimming.”  While I agree that the parents were foolish to not follow the signs and disregard the “no swimming”, I do think Disney could have been more clear in warning that there are gators in the water.  Deep water alone is not a reason to not swim,  especially when they went out of their way to make it a “beach” area. [/quote][/quote]
