Disney resort custodian says he warned managers they should have fences

59. from my law school days, I remember the duty of businesses to customers

That means, a business has a duty to its customers to REASONABLY protect them from hazards such as slipping on the floor, being shocked by exposed electric wires, etc etc. Part of Walt Disney World's operating environment is wild animals such as alligators. Yes, it is impossible to 100% prevent people from doing careless things, but carefully worded warnings (in print and perhaps verbally by the front desk staff) and tasteful signs (can't scare the customers TOO much, you know) would go a long way towards preventing tragedies.

If there had been those warnings and tasteful signs, I am convinced this tragedy would have never happened. Saving one human life is worth forcing Disney to lose a small amount of business. It's really easy to avoid this tragedy. It's not like this would cripple their business. A few low-key warnings, some signs, everyone's happy.
