A harrowing incident occurred at Disneyland on Sunday, June 21, 2026, when a 13-year-old boy fell approximately 50 feet — roughly 15 meters — from the attraction Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Video footage captured by a stunned park visitor shows the teen seemingly ejected from his log-shaped ride vehicle moments before it plunged down a waterfall.
Emergency Response and Medical Outcome
According to reporting by TMZ, the boy was rushed to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Remarkably, he sustained no serious injuries and was later discharged.
Disney’s Statement and Safety Measures
A Disney spokesperson told TMZ that guest safety remains the company’s top priority. They emphasized that the attraction features multiple built-in safety systems and that staff are trained to respond immediately to emergencies — which they did: the ride halted instantly after the incident.
Regulatory Review
In line with standard procedure, inspectors from California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) visited the site on Monday, June 23, 2026, to examine the ride. Following their review, they approved its return to operation.
