Billy Williams, a resident of Florida, has taken legal action against Walt Disney World Resort, claiming that he has endured long-lasting and severe injuries as a result of falling off the Haunted Mansion ride located in the Magic Kingdom. This supposed incident unfolded on April 28, 2022, when an operator of the ride unexpectedly pressed the emergency stop button, causing a sudden jolt that led to Williams’ fall.
Through his lawsuit, which was formally submitted in July, Williams is seeking $50,000 in compensation, as he contends that the resort displayed negligence by not upholding a reasonable level of safety for its premises. Furthermore, he alleges that Disney World did nothing to address or alert visitors about the potential hazards associated with the emergency stop mechanism.
