A 4-year-old boy on a family vacation died Monday afternoon after he passed out on a Disney World ride at Epcot Center.

The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on the Mission: SPACE ride, according to Disney officials. The ride spins passengers on a multi-armed centrifuge to simulate a launch into space. It exerts twice the normal force of gravity on occupants.

    I bet the unfortunate boy had a preexisting and undetected condition such as an aneurysm, although I feel that an autopsy would've found that by now.
