Disney settles suit over alleged Splash Mountain injuries (http://www.pe.com/ap_news/California/CA_Disneyland_Lawsuit_87341C.shtml) - AP, 10/30/02
QuikQuote: The settlement was reached Monday, said Yvonne Traina's attorney, Barry Novack. Both sides declined to reveal terms, citing confidentiality agreements. The suit had sought unspecified damages.
The action alleged that on Aug. 8, 2000, an operator started the log flume ride before Traina, 67, was strapped in, causing her to be thrown "rapidly backward" in her seat. When she screamed and he stopped the ride, she was thrown forward.
