QuikQuote: Cristina Moreno, of Barcelona, Spain, was a 23-year-old newlywed on her honeymoon when she and her husband rode the Indiana Jones attraction in Anaheim on June 25, 2000, court documents state. Within a few hours, she collapsed from a bleeding cerebral aneurysm. She died a few months later.
Her estate filed the lawsuit in 2001, seeking more than $1 million in damages. The plaintiff alleged that that the jerky moves and emotional stress from the ride prompted the pre-existing aneurysm to rupture, court documents state.
At least three other lawsuits related to Indiana Jones-ride injuries were filed then settled

I was expecting them to sue for way more than a million.

And it still seems wierd to me how they changed that law to make the rides fall under the same category as transportation vehicles.
