Disneyland Alters Ride After Boy Is Injured
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Disneyland has made state-ordered adjustments to its Storybook Land Canal Boats and reopened the attraction Friday, two days after a 4-year-old severed the tip of his thumb on the ride.
The boy, who had gripped the edge of the boat when it docked, was injured when an adult stepped on the edge of the boat while disembarking, causing it to rock and pinching the boy’s thumb between the dock and boat, said Dean Fryer, spokesman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health.
