>>"Is anyone going to answer DeLorean Motors' rather morbid question?"

"Or shall we start a new happier question?"<<

This shall remain the question to be answered, morbid or not.

I suppose I'll morbidly answer the question (though I just looked up the answers from a website)

The first was Rick Yuma, a 15 year old boy from my hometown Hawthorne. He was jumping from tran to train on the PeopleMover and got wedged between two cars.

The second was Geraldo Gonzales who was also trying to jump to another car and fell onto the track and run over by another train.

Well...actually his last name was "Yama" :p but ya got it anyways, lol

August 1967: Ricky Lee Yama, a 17-year-old Hawthorne, CA, resident, was killed when he disregarded safety instructions and exited his People Mover car as the ride was passing through a tunnel. Yama slipped as he was jumping from car to car and was crushed to death beneath the wheels of oncoming cars.

7 June 1980: Gerardo Gonzales, a recent San Diego high school graduate, was killed on the People Mover in an accident much like the one that had befallen Ricky Lee Yama thirteen years earlier. Gonzales, in the early morning hours of a Grad Nite celebration, was climbing from car to car as the People Mover entered the SuperSpeed Tunnel adjacent to the former America Sings building. Gonzales stumbled and fell onto the track, where an oncoming train of cars crushed him beneath its wheels and dragged his body a few hundred feet before being stopped by a ride operator.
