When This Employee Had His Heart In The Mouth For A Minute

Back in the day, I used to work Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom. You would have your typical stuff to deal with - vomit, food, shoes falling off, etc. One day, we put a group of kids - one of which was admittedly too small to be on the ride, but we let him on because his bigger sister said she'd hold onto him - in their seats, let them go, get back to chatting.
When they finally come back, two of them are missing - the boy and his sister. So, naturally, we just completely lose our shit. We all let a kid too small get on the ride. We could lose our fucking jobs for that. We could go to prison for that. We shut down the ride, tell everyone someone vomited all over the seats, and go looking for this kid and his sister.
We literally had to climb around Space Mountain looking for these two, using the carts as something to hold onto. A huge, huge pain in the ass, by the way.
When we finally see them, it's bad. The boy is facedown on the tracks, dead as far as we could tell. And his sister is leaning on a pole connecting to the tracks, looking completely shot and dejected. Me and two other employees literally just broke down and started crying for a solid 15 seconds or so before the girl bursts out laughing and her apparently-not-dead little brother follows suit.
