Disney scare unfolds after teen exits log ride moments before 50-foot plunge

The incident occurred on Sunday on Tiana's Bayou Adventure, one of Disneyland's log flume rides, according to a Disneyland spokesperson.

He was evaluated as a precaution and later released.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure remained closed for the remainder of Sunday evening before reopening the following day, according to reports.

Witnesses who discussed the incident online described the boy sliding down the steep drop before emergency personnel arrived.

"He attempted to exit the ride vehicle at the top of the final drop," another user wrote. "The ride stop mechanism failed to engage or was already past the threshold for the vehicle to enter free fall."

Another commenter said Disneyland security and medical personnel quickly responded to the scene.

"Luck was on his side," another user wrote.
