They tell you to stand clear of the doors for a reason

That"s not unusual.

Please exit in mass, down the stairs and chose either a bus or a little boat. Either way you are now delayed a good hour or 2. Have a magical day.

I bet there are less injuries on the monorails then on buses each year.   

I also bet there are more delays on the monorails then on the buses.  Lol.

That was my thought as soon as I read the title of this thread

Would like to start seeing Disney offering special transportation vans  for the disabled like they have at Assisted Living Facilities or Rehab Centers. Last week we saw someone on a scooter disembark the monorail and right after exiting the door completely fall over sideways scooter and all. It appeared to be a medical emergency. It was very scary to witness a person and their scooter laying on their side on the concrete and not moving. Fortunately they didn't fall over on someone and truly hope they were alright. For the safety of all Disney needs to address scooter transportation on site. Would also suggest designated scooter lanes, similar to bike lanes, in the theme parks.

What happened was the door was damaged by an ECV. Disney workers were trying to repair the door by removing it. The monorail was empty. Unfortunately they dropped the door while working on it. The articles make it sound like the monorail pulled in and the door fell off.

Well that makes a heck of a lot more sense than a door randomly fell off on its own.

I have been trying in my head to mechanically figure out how it could have ended up in that position and was really having a hard time with it. This explains the missing piece. Thanks!

But headlines about a monorail door falling off get more clicks than headlines about Disney workers removing monorail door to repair it and accidentally dropping it.

Problem is people rent them having never used one and then this happens.

Isn't it odd, big brother government banned 3 wheeler ATVs because they were dangerous and tipped over, but there are thousands of 3 wheel scooters out there.

Yes they don't go as fast, but there are a lot of people out there that don't know how to operate them.
