People were given fast passes and asked to leave. It appeared that a young boy possibly nine-thirteen had got his foot wedged between the car and the platform. The gap was only 5cm and the ride was closed for 2.5 hours. It may be possible that his foot may have been amputated.9/18/2001 - Big Thunder Mountain - Submitted by Name Withheld on 12/7/2001 I was coming out of the ride, planning to exit, I opened a gate to leave, and the gate swung back at me and dug into my leg, causing it to bleed heavily, I still have a scar, 2 months later.
