Orlando in the News Again

Disney has invited guests onto their property in order to do business. There is a certain level of safety expectation in the eyes of the law.

And when people violate the "no swimming" sign that is posted? Regardless of the reasoning it is posted, there is a sign that tells occupants not to go in the water.

GTFOH. Everyone knows alligators can't walk on land. They are like fish. Well at least thats what I would say if I was from Nebraska.

Don't they also have walking catfish in Florida?

 

[BearDen]

In your opinion, how would you handle the safety aspects of this so both the gators and people can survive?

I would put "No Swimming" signs up. Oh wait....

Hawk,

It's been reported the kid was in about 1 foot of water splashing about which is what likely drew the gators attention because the smallish animals it hunts would splash about in a similar manner.

We also know this was around dusk or night. There is no excuse for a kid to be splashing about at night in the water. Further when I have had kids near the water at the beach or canal or whatever, I always position myself between the kid and the deep water so that any potential threat from the deeper water has to come through me.

For this kid to be snatched means there was likely no adult between him and the deeper water which allows the gator to see this kid splashing about and allowed the gator to come up and grab him unimpeded.

 

[remydat]

Probably better to enlist the Navy SEALS, so they can hide underwater and hit the gators where they live.

Take the fight to Osama Bin Gator. I like that approach.

Lets see, nimrod........How does Disney advertise their vacations? Bet they do not mention at all, the ability of these tourists to try and rescue their kids from the jaws of dangerous animals. I bet they mention all about the breakfast with the "characters", the water skiing show with Donald and Goofy. Visiting countless other attractions and spend their money on trinkets and other shit. But not those fucking 10 foot alligators that they allow into their resort unannounced and unimpeded.

All of you so-called gator "experts" are full of shit. Some of you think that it is no fucking big deal to get up on an alligator. I say bullshit to you. Some of you talked about how you would "handle" this gator like you were some Crocadille Dundee or something. Big talk. Noone knows what the **** they would do if they were attacked by anyone or anything.

For one, why, & how, would they advertise the gator attack? "Come to Disney and have a better chance at winning the lottery than being eaten by a gator!"

Two, why the **** would they be Crocodile Dundee's if they were wrestling alligators? He wrestles Crocodiles asshole.

Doesn't matter as to liability of the resort. A no swimming sign doesn't properly describe the danger in the water nor the possible danger of an animal who can quickly get out of the water and attack someone.

 

[BearDen]

Hawk, can you find me some Madden ratings on the alligator? I think it would really shut that punk Ares up.

 

[Ares]

Ares stop being mean to other posters.

Why, is The Hawk crying to you in PM?

No. It tells the occupants not to swim. It says nothing about putting your feet in the water or not getting too close to the edge.

 

[ijustposthere]

I wish you got it... you just don't get it..... take a nap before I change ur sig again

Ares, just STFU. You have no evidence to back up your claims that the parents were irresponsible, not even that their 2 year old was taken away by a fucking alligator.

 

[ijustposthere]

No. It tells the occupants not to swim. It says nothing about putt8ng your feet in the water or not getting too close to the edge.

So it doesn't cover deep wading either?

Dis good point ^^^^^^^

A foot of water is "deep wading" now? LOL. I'm glad you aren't an attorney for Disney. You would cost them a lot more than they should pay out here.

I can't believe you are this dense. Oh, wait a minute, you are very dense. A logical signage would say something like. Danger with an alligator likeness on it. I do not think that just posting a no swimming sign is nearly enough. Hell, the kid wasn't even swimming, was he? Hell, there were probably poisonous snakes, snapping turtles, etc, in that water. How about signs warning tourist NOT TO FEED the gators. That is another problem isn't it? I think that anyone caught feeding wild animals should be arrested on the spot because it reduces the natural fear of animals of humans. Out here, some dumb asses feed raccoons and coyotes. Years ago a friend of mine worked with a guy who lived in the foothills and a coyote killed his young son who was maybe two years old. The damn animal actually went up the steps of his house and snatched the kid off of his kiddie swing and cut his jugular vein and he bled out quickly.

Point is that I believe that Disney must be held accountable for what they didn't do.

 

[Bigfoot]

To be honest Hawk unless you build a wall like the Berlin Wall, gators are always going to find a way to water.

Bleeding Hawk Liberal at it again..... no personal responsibility.... someone has to cover for you being an idiot, is that it?

How tall do you think 2 year olds are? Secondly, I wasn't talking about this specific case, but your point is fucking Special person. If someone was wading in deeper water, and something happened, well, they technically weren't swimming. I mean, do you see a no swimming sign and think, "geez, I can go in the water as long as I don't swim?"

 

[Xuder O'Clam]

Anybody catch that show, Nova I think it was, where a guy in Africa was devising a way to shock crocs at the river edge, and use a bell, so that villagers can come to the river and ring the bell, scaring any crocs away?

Not explaining it great, but it was very interesting, and seemed to be successful.
