Damn, that is fucking awful. I hope she feels better soon.... ugh. Always hate when this shit happens. She shouldn't be subjected to that, but also I love Disney World and the memories it's brought me and my family. Lose / Lose situation in my eyes.
...she "suffered severe and permanent bodily injury including severe vaginal lacerations, a full thickness laceration causing Plaintiff's bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall, and damage to her internal organs."
Yeah, this is far more than just a ‘painful wedgie.’
I’m getting strong ‘stupid woman sues McDonalds after spilling coffee on herself (except it was like seriously major disfiguring burns but shhh about that)’ vibes from that headline
Asking why you have to do something is smart in every case. I ask why I’m asking to do something all the time. If it’s not a valid reason why I should be doing something, I just don’t do it. And if somebody won’t tell you why you’re supposed to be doing something and that’s a giant red flag. So somebody asks you why just tell him
Let it play out in court. If she’s the only one that got injured, and it’s because she intentionally did something wrong, then the court will take that into account.
If people are regularly injured, and she’s just the worst case, and it’s a common problem, then the court will take that into account too.
The media only cares about clicks, so you can’t trust their filter to be fair to the real story.
The McGuinness’ suit categorizes the experience as a “painful wedgie,” and alleges that she “suffered severe and permanent bodily injury including severe vaginal lacerations, a full thickness laceration causing Plaintiff’s bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall, and damage to her internal organs.”
The McGuinness’ suit categorizes the experience as a “painful wedgie,” and alleges that she “suffered severe and permanent bodily injury including severe vaginal lacerations, a full thickness laceration causing Plaintiff’s bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall, and damage to her internal organs.”
Why in the world would they themselves describe that as just a “wedgie”? With the assumption that the latter description is accurate and can be corroborated with a medical professional, that’s a massive misnomer that seriously misrepresents what happened.
Riders are instructed to cross their legs and ankles while riding the slide, though the McGuinnesses claim Disney did not instruct them why this safety measure was necessary.
The impact of The Slide and [Emma’s] impact into the standing water at the bottom of The Slide caused Ms.McGuinness’ clothing to be painfully forced between her legs and for water to be violently forced inside her," the suit reads, adding that Emma was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and later had to undergo surgery to repair gynecologic injuries after “she experienced immediate and severe pain internally and, as she stood up, blood began rushing from between her legs.”
Maybe listen when employees instruct you to do something.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but there’s the difference between, “it’ll hurt” and “you’re going to have to go to the hospital because it’ll be like shoving a power washer up your vagina.” Someone might be willing to risk the pain out of convenience or because they want a funny picture, but they’re not going to do it if it’ll result in a hospital trip. If you’re going to have dangerous rides, then you should be informing people about why they’re dangerous to stop people from trying to apply “common sense”, attempt “funny stunts”, or just be lazy.
No, the McDonald’s situation had previous documented warnings to the company that their policies regarding maintaining coffee temperatures that high were a safety hazard that they chose to ignore.
The article says that employees advise every rider of what they need to do for the safety briefing. Have there been other injuries on this ride previously? I can’t find anything with a quick search and the article doesn’t seem to mention anything about previous issues until this woman ignored the safety advice.
