    Jose Valadez, 39, of Apopka, died Sept. 22, 2004, a day after falling from the loading platform at Universal Studios Florida's Revenge of the Mummy ride. Valadez was awaiting a liver transplant and doctors told his family that his liver disease complicated the surgery they performed after the accident. Valadez fell as he was trying to board the ride. After falling, Valadez hit his head on the tracks. He complained to paramedics of stomach pain and that he couldn't feel his leg.

    • Follow-up:
    The man was walking around the park all day after he fell, and his subsequent need for surgery was indirectly related to the fall, due to pre-existing medical conditions. A healthy person would have been fine. -- Submitted by Name Withheld on 9/23/2004

    On or about June 16, 2007 on Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL in the afternoon, I bypassed this ride and waited patiently for my son to finish the ride in the waiting area. I saw a lady, white, about 30-40 years old, with an open wound and bleeding at her left elbow getting off the ride at the closest ride exit nearest to the waiting area. I believe she stuck out her elbow and it hit the short door gaurd just before the ride stopped. She walked with paramedics off the ride with pronounced bleeding and stating that she stuck her elbow out and it hit something and something about it being her fault. The medical assistance was performed even though she did not want it, but the bleeding was alot and needed bandages. The ride stopped and was shut down for 5-10 minutes and then resumed. My son was on the ride when it shut down. All in all he rode the ride safely 4-5 times and I rode it once. We both enjoyed it.

    When riding "Revenge of the Mummy" (May 10th 2007), in one of its curves, my head slid from the head support and I had a "whiplash effect" which took me to the Emergency Room. I am still feeling a lot of pain and under rigorous medical attention. Unfortunatelly my vacations ended much sooner than I expected, and I am still wearing my cervical collar.
