A trainer at SeaWorld Orlando was severely injured last year when one of the park’s killer whales bit her arm, breaking several bones.

ORLANDO, Fla. – SeaWorld Orlando's 'Dine with Shamu' program has reopened for the first time since Dawn Brancheau's death on Tuesday-- the same day the park appealed citations in the trainer's death. In 2010, OSHA fined SeaWorld for employee safety violations involving the "water work" with whales during the shows and prohibited trainers from swimming with killer whales. Welsch kept a full $5,000 in fines for a staircase without rails but reduced the water work fine to $7,000-totaling $12,00 in fines. SeaWorld argues there is no difference between caring for the whales during a show and after the audiences have left. SeaWorld officials said they hope OSHA safety inspectors will allow trainers and whales to swim together again with the new rising floor.
