Disney World guest dies following cardiac emergency on ride

A 54-year-old man died after experiencing a cardiac emergency on the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney World's Magic Kingdom on April 2, according to a report from Florida officials. The man, who had a pre-existing heart condition, was transported to a hospital where he later died. The incident was noted in the state's quarterly report on theme park injuries and illnesses. The report also mentioned five other medical incidents at Disney World this spring, including injuries sustained by a 75-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man. Fatal incidents at U.S. theme parks are uncommon, although there have been reports of deaths due to ride accidents and medical emergencies in the past.
