Has anyone died on Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland?

Answer 1

Yes, I have heard of people dying on Mission Space, a somewhat new ride in the park, because of personal medical conditions. It's a simulator ride, so if you have any known medical complications or heart problems, it would be best to not go on these kinds of rides.

Answer 2

In September 2003, A 22-year-old man, Marcelo Torres of Gardena, California, died, and several other guests were injured, when a locomotive separated from its train along a tunnel section of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Torres bled to death after suffering blunt force trauma of the chest.
