You need to keep yourself on the ride until the ride stops. This seems to be the most common type of injury with rides.

Maybe not the most common, but I have heard of stories like this before. This happened a year or two or three ago on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

It’s amazing how dumb some guest can be. This is why they say “remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop”.
