The 13-year-old visitor exited the ride vehicle before the end of the attraction on Sunday, June 21st, and was taken to the hospital for his injuries following the fall, according to the Orange County Register.
A Cast Member immediately stopped the attraction once the incident occurred, and the boy was later evaluated at a local hospital as a precaution before being released, Disneyland officials said. The incident took place around 6 PM on June 21st, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure remained closed for the rest of the evening.

The ride later reopened on Monday, June 22nd. Eyewitnesses shared on Reddit that they saw the boy “falling,” “tumbling,” or “sliding” down the drop hill.
Disneyland security and medics responded to the incident, according to the witnesses.

One Reddit user claimed the boy sustained minor cuts and scrapes but managed to avoid any serious injuries.
The Disneyland version of the ride does not require lap bars or seat belts, and it’s unclear at this time why the boy exited the ride vehicle.

Unbelievable.
ok, i watched the video. but-please stop suing disney for being stupid.
I just watched the video and he was climbing out. Either he was scared or thought it was a good idea but who knows. He’s a teen now and has to make his own decisions. I did look like someone was trying to get him though. But whatever the case, Disney is NOT at fault for him climbing out; although they should have a lap bar there anyway. If he went on the ride and then decided not to and climbed out before hand, that’s on him and all on him. But if they sue Disney, I don’t know what could come out of it except disney being told to add safety devices (showing that people cannot make good decisions on their own when safety is involved and have to be kept safe).
