The core of the problem will be determined in court, and I think it will be summarized as follows:
Q: Was Disney Resorts aware of the danger of alligators?
A: Yes.
Q: Was the possibility of alligators one of the primary reasons for the "No Swimming" signs posted?
A: Yes.
Q: Does this court feel that a "No Swimming" sign is sufficient warning for the average resort guest to adequately protect themselves from the danger of alligators?
A: No.
I don't care how adamant people are about saying, "But it's FLORIDA! You should have KNOWN that there's alligators in Florida!" Does the average guest know enough about Florida and alligators and the Disney Resorts to know that alligators are a potential danger on the resort grounds? Do you think that a visitor from Scotland or the Ukraine or New Zealand should know enough about Florida to know that "No Swimming" means "Don't get within ten feet of the water, because ALLIGATORS"?
People blaming the parents just want to feel superior so that they can keep up their superstition that tragedy only strikes stupid people, and clearly we are not the stupid people.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Wed Jun 15, 2016 1:24 pm
