July 8, 1974--Disneyland hostess Deborah Gail Stone, 18, from Santa Ana, is the first employee fatality. She dies after being caught between the America Sings carousel's rotating theater wall and a stationary stage wall. Standing to the left of the stage, she welcomed the guests over a microphone before the outer ring rotated and carried the audience to the first scene of the carousel. She died at 11 p.m. during a 45-second interval when the audience had left her theater and it was moving into position to start a new cycle. Stone approached too close to the area between the rotating wall and the non-moving stage wall and was caught between them. The Attraction was stopped when guests in the adjacent theater heard her screams. The walls were remodeled so that they would breakaway if a similar incident occurred.
