You hate to see things happen like this.
Wow, this is terrible.
To Varbanov's friends, coworkers and family, I am very sorry for your lost. Walt Disney World needs to look into the safety of the Castmembers in the parks and work to prevent any further injuries happen, no one wants to see a fourth castmember dead this summer, three is too many!!!
This is so extremely sad, he is a friend of ours, great acrobat, and even greater personality, I STILL DO NOT BELIEVE IT........ what about his brother who still works there.... this is soooo sad (crying)
That is very sad, so young.
How sad.
That's sad. It's been a hard few weeks for Disney cast members, must be hard to remain upbeat and cheery for all the guests.
