Any notable incidents? Has the ride ever had to be stopped because a passenger requested it? Has anyone ever fallen out of the boat (okay this one is a bit ridiculous but nonetheless)?

This is very interesting, thank you, but it makes me curious about something else.

Disney maintains a fairly strict "immersion" policy where they very rarely "break the forth wall", so to speak, in terms of acknowledging that the rides are in fact, rides in a theme park and everything is basically fake. Now, the JAWS ride is pretty much an on-rails narrative telling a quick story of an encounter with the shark itself. In the event that staff had to stop or otherwise pause or modify the ride in any way, did they break character and say "Alright folks we're gonna wait for these ducks to fly away", because as a guest that would sound completely hilarious to me and break any form of immersion I'd have had on a boat ride with a killer shark in the waters, or was there some kind of protocol to weave the technical modification into the ride experience?

Thanks for your detailed answers!
