Dang. That's screwed up. Horrible thing to happen.

Some lawyer is going to make a bundle off of it.

It's not that good a ride anyway.
If you get a chance, check out "Islands of Adventure" next to Universal studios. THAT is awesome, full of amazing rides. They have a themed Dr. Seuss area that is sooo well done.
In Universal studios, the best things are the "twister" tornado simulator and the Terminator. The earthquake thing isn't bad either.

The Local 6 website says that it was only an injury, and that the victim is in fair condition.

"Local 6 News reported that a tourist fell about four feet while attempting to enter the front seat of a stationary car."

That sounds like a far cry from a "gruesome death that was videotaped". Somebody went to the Dan Rather School of Journalism, either Local 6 or whatever TV station reported the death.
