A 54-year-old man died after suffering a cardiac emergency on Disney World's "It's a Small World" ride, according to a Florida state report on theme park injuries. The incident, disclosed in the state's latest quarterly report on such incidents, highlights the risks posed to guests with pre-existing health conditions even on gentle, family-friendly attractions rather than high-thrill rides.

The man experienced the heart-related emergency while on the ride in the Fantasyland section of Magic Kingdom on 2 April. He was taken to hospital, where he later died, according to local broadcaster FOX 35 Orlando. Florida requires large theme parks to report serious injuries and deaths to state regulators, which is how the incident came to public attention.
