Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon Disney, to know the safe boundaries of their attractions. Height requirements are fine for the lap belts and shoulder harnesses, and traditional center-of-gravity considerations of traditional roller coasters-- but pulling 2 G's (that's twice the natural force of gravity) is something I don't think a four year old can handle. I don't think that should be left up to the laymen/women to decide for themselves. The culture of safety is something I brought up concern about in another thread-- it's not a "dimer switch". It's either there, or not. On, or off. I hope for the sake of Disney, and the dreams they have made come true for decades, and the ones they have yet to fulfill, that this doesn't turn out to be their fault. And it may not be-- we'll see what comes of the investigation. COD might have been something entirely unrelated to the ride.

Very good point, Paul.
