Accident at Animal Kingdom
May 29, 2007

WDWINFO.COM - (5/29 - 5pm) According to officials at Disney, 6 guests were sent to the hospital with minor injury after an accident on Kali River Rapids at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

The ride apparently experienced a minor malfunction that caused it stop unexpectedly. To complicate matters, it appears as though the emergency evacuation system failed to operate properly, causing one of the rafts to slide back, hitting another raft. 5 guests and 1 cast member sustained injuries and are being treated at area hospitals.

Earlier reports that a piece of machinery had fallen from a bridge over the attraction were incorrect.
