ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A report says a 12-year-old boy suffered cuts to four fingers on Walt Disney World's Pirates of the Caribbean ride, three months before a British tourist had a similar accident.

The report made public Monday by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shows the boy lacerated his fingers in mid-April.

No other details were released.

The British tourist lost two fingertips on his right hand almost two weeks ago while on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler says, as a precaution, guests at this time aren't being loaded in the back row where the two people were when they were injured.

She says the ride has been inspected and is deemed safe.

well rightly or wrongly we certainly are NOT getting in the back row

I like the back row - I just keep my hands and arms inside the boat

Thanks for posting.
Will steer clear of the back row.

The 'British Tourist' already admitted he had his hand outside the boat - it was on the side.

So I gather this report of the boy is because the boy did the same thing?

You all realise that if you do this on just about any ride - the same thing will happen right?

Looking forward to riding on the back row next year

This old info... People get injured at WDW every day some more serious and others just a graze, so nothing new, its only been brought out again after the more recent incident.

Any incident however serious or not that is reported to Disney has to be then filed with the relevant safety people.

Keep your hands inside of the boat. Not hard.

<Wonders if people realise that they tell you to keep your arms and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times for a reason?>

Well said - or as your Mother said "Do as you're told"

Some peoples stupidity is beyond belief, next will be "Avoid the ride its dangerous"

Maybe giant plastic bubbles that sit over the boats so you can't put any part of your body outside it?
