Broken Ankle at the Theme Parks

It looks like some theme park visitors got a little more than they bargained for in the first quarter of 2008. This snippet from the Orlando Sentinel,
...a 50-year-old man who said he injured his neck and spine on the Mach V ride at Wet ‘n Wild in January; a 28-year-old woman who suffered a seizure after riding The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure in February; and a 39-year-old man who had a seizure after riding Big Thunder Mountain at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in March. 
No serious injuries were reported during the quarter at Busch Gardens or Adventure Island in Tampa, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, DisneyQuest, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove or Universal Studios.
That's good because Mrs. Howell and I are scheduled to be at Busch Gardens this weekend.
