The claimant is seeking $50,000 (£41,400) in damages over injuries she alleges she suffered as a result of the ride at Typhoon Lagoon in Florida.
A woman is suing Disney over claims a water slide at one of its theme parks left her with serious injuries.After going on the ride at Typhoon Lagoon as part of her 30th birthday celebrations in 2019, she was taken by ambulance to a local hospital before being moved to another that specialised in gynaecological injuries, court documents say.
There medics found she had a"full thickness laceration" of the vagina, which"caused the plaintiff's bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall and damage her internal organs". She is seeking $50,000 in damages from Disney, Sky News' US partner network NBC News reports. The lawsuit said the Humunga Kowabunga slide puts riders at risk of a"painful wedgie".
According to court documents, she went on the ride wearing a one-piece swimming costume with her mother and daughter after being instructed to cross her legs. "The slide caused [her] clothing to be painfully forced between her legs and for water to be violently forced inside her," the documents read.It adds that"risk of injury as a consequence of water being forced inside a woman's body" is"far greater than it is for a man".Humunga Kowabunga is Typhoon Lagoon's fastest and steepest waterslide. It sends people down a five-storey descent at speeds of up to 40mph, according to Disney's website.
