From the Daily News:
Boy, 4, dies after ride at Disney World
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - A 4-year-old Pennsylvania boy died after a spin on a Walt Disney World spaceship ride that is so intense some riders have been taken to the hospital with chest pain. Daudi Bamuwamye lost consciousness Monday aboard Mission: Space, which spins riders in a giant centrifuge that subjects them to forces that are twice thenormal pull of gravity.
Paramedics and a theme park worker tried to revive him, but he died at a hospital. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
The $100 million ride was closed after the death but reopened yesterday after engineers concluded that it was operating normally.
