This isn’t the first time this kind of emergency has struck a Disney Park and unfortunately is unlikely to be the last. However, fans and guests can rest assured that all Disney cast members and employees are well-trained to respond to situations like this, and that the Disney Parks will always prioritize the safety of guests over all else.
