To think that Disney could have gotten away with it if this guy had a Disney+ account.

That's like a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a penny to them.

the agencies involved here are not able to fine much more than that. But I guess a fair question is why are they only fining for this stuff after the fact? Do they not inspect periodically?

Also the widow is suing Disney for wrongful death, so hopefully that will hit them a little harder.

Hope they never had a Disney+ trial...

I don't doubt there's some limit to the fine, I'm more trying to point out the absurdity of how low that is for Disney. Surely we could concoct a system where the fine is based on some percentage rather than a flat rate that is probably decades out of sync with inflation.

That'll teach em.

Why did they get fined? Surly the one that fell had a D+ subscription at some point ever, maybe even in the future.

Notice fined... not sued. Im certain that clause was in every single contract that worker signed...

So they're losing like, what, five Disney World one-day admissions?
