Excerpt from an article at MSN:
Was her son’s accident the only one that just seemed to disappear? No, she says it turned out there were lots of them. For example, Disney never had to report what happened to Zipora Jacob, a 43-year-old former molecular biologist. Her husband, Chaim, says Zipora is a different woman since she rode Disney’s Indiana Jones attraction in 1995.
She was a totally healthy individual, says Chaim Jacob. She never had any problem whatsoever. And during the ride she felt pain in the back of her head. By the time she arrived in the hospital she was in a coma.
Mr. Jacob says his once-brilliant wife was so badly shaken up by the Indiana Jones ride that she suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage. And now? He says she must wear a shunt to drain fluids and must take dozens of pills every day. And will for the rest of her life. She is unable to work as a molecular biologist anymore.
ARE THERE INJURIES?
Disney declined Dateline’s repeated offers to comment on camera, but did respond to our written questions. Regarding allegations of brain injuries resulting from its rides, the company said: It has never been confirmed that our attractions cause such injuries.
But the Jacob’s lawyer, Barry Novak, tells a different story. We have found out that for the last approximately four years there have been over 60 injuries, documented injuries, as a result of the dynamics of amusement rides.
