Disney accused of ‘downplaying’ “painful” water skiing injury in lawsuit 2023

Disney has been accused of “interference” amid an ongoing lawsuit surrounding a “serious” water slide injury that occurred at one of its theme parks.

For thrill-seekers, Humunga Kowabunga could be the perfect ride. Found at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando Florida, it is advertised as the “fastest, steepest waterslide” offered at Typhoon Lagoon.

A woman and her husband are suing Walt Disney Parks and Resorts after she suffered “severe and permanent” injuries while sliding down a 65-meter water slide — and internet users are making false claims. theory that Disney is trying to “downplay” the incident.

Emma McGuinness was celebrating her 30th birthday with husband Edward and his family when their holiday at the resort was cut short on October 14, 2019.

According to the lawsuit filed last Wednesday, Emma suffered “serious” injuries when she collided with water at the bottom of a “nearly vertical, five-story high” slide. Although the water was intended to slow the driver, it also caused her one-piece bathing suit to be “forced violently inward.”

“She felt immediate and intense internal pain and when she stood up, blood began to flow from between her legs,” the lawsuit states. Emma was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and then had to see a gynecological trauma specialist.

The couple is now suing for damages and taxable costs, with the lawsuit accusing Disney of “negligence and breach of the duty of reasonable care.” Internet users were quick to respond to the news, alleging possible “interference” in the way the lawsuit has been reported so far.

One Twitter user wrote that Emma’s “very serious” injuries were downplayed by Disney as a “painful injury”. “Intentionally lying about the seriousness of the plaintiff’s claims in order to falsely portray them as some greedy fraudster abusing the legal system is also subject to further action for [fraud or defamation in my opinion].”

Another wrote sarcastically: “Ah yes, because I absolutely had a bad wedgie that caused severe gynecological trauma and damaged my reproductive system and intestines enough to require surgery! Stop meddling with Disney!”
