Penn State researchers found that the maximum wet-bulb temperature humans can endure is lower than previously thought — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy subjects. The temperature for older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, is likely even lower.
I’m sure it’s bad. I know people who work at the Universal theme parks in Orlando and it seems that they are particularly afraid of being sued and getting bad press for that exact problem, and are surprisingly good about making sure that if the heat is causing problems they go into the AC for a break.
But honestly having theme parks open in Florida in the summer is a public health hazard in the first place, they literally all have medical staff on site mostly because of how common heat exhaustion and heat stroke are.
I agree, I actually passed out at one when I was a kid. Just overheated. Waiting on a crowded line, humid, hot, it seems really dangerous especially as thing are getting hotter
