Doctor's suit against Disney is set for trial (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-bizbizbriefcase29112903nov29,1,587648.story?coll=o rl-business-headlines) - Orlando Sentinel, 11/29/03

QuikQuote: Walt Disney Co. is facing more allegations of faulty maintenance procedures, this time by a Milwaukee surgeon who said he suffered whiplash and an ongoing neurological disorder after riding a roller coaster at its California Adventure amusement park.
The doctor's negligence lawsuit, which goes to trial next week in California's Orange County Superior Court, challenges whether a safety restraint was properly lowered and lubricated. The trial comes days after the release of a California report on the fatal crash on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in September. In that incident, investigators found that Disneyland mechanics failed to tighten bolts and insert a safety wire on the coaster.

Wait a minute, this guy is a practicing surgeon, and he can't operate an OTSR bar? Sounds like he had the neurological disorder long before he rode the ride. Probably one of the dimwits who leans forward before the launch "Hey, nobody TOLD me this ride launches from a stop"

Thats the problem using "off-the-shelf" coaster technology.
