What happened was this: a custodial CM was cleaning the cars for the Skyway. While he was doing this, a ride operator came in for the day, and not realizing that someone was working on the cabs, started up the ride. The man working ended up hanging from the outside of the cab. If he had let go right away he would have only fell a few feet from the station, but he tried to hold on, and made it about half-way, where the track rose high over the transition from Fantasyland into Tomorrowland, the farthest possible he could have fallen. Disney denied that his death had anything to do with the ride, but the insurance premiums skyrocketed after that, and it was decided to just scrap the whole ride, since it was already becoming unpopular and a nightmare to run (slow load times, no handicapped access, etc.). I was shocked when I came back for my first visit after I returned to school: they had removed every last vestige of tehr ide, except for the platforms. It was eerie seeing no Skyway.
