TOURIST STEPS OFF RIDE, IS KILLED AT DISNEY WORLD

ORLANDO, FLORIDA - A Walt Disney World tourist was killed Sunday after
he stepped off the Splash Mountain ride midway through it and was hit by another boat.

"He got out of the boat on his own. He wasn't pushed. He didn't fall.
Why he did that, nobody knows," said sheriff's spokesman Bernie Presha.

"We don't know if he was trying to cross or if he slipped. He was struck by
another boat in the same ride."
The ride closed after the accident, which happened about 2 p.m., said Rena
Callahan, a Walt Disney World Resorts spokeswoman. She expected the ride to
reopen Monday.

Callahan said the 37-year-old man had been visiting the park with friends
for the day. Witnesses told investigators that his boat was weaving through the
inside of the artificial mountain when he stepped out, she said.

"Clearly, this is a tragic event, and our hearts do go out to the family and
friends of this person," she said.

The man was taken to Celebration Hospital with serious injuries and was
later pronounced dead, the Orange County Sheriff's office said.
