A woman was hospitalized after a ride down Typhoon Lagoon’s tallest water slide left her with severe vaginal lacerations and internal organ damage, according to the lawsuit.

    At first I thought there was a wedge on the waterslide… my damn European ass hah… but honestly. Isn’t that kind of expected from the tallest and fastest slide? You know it’s the tallest and fastest…… Why would you complain about the standing water that is there to save your ass from hitting a wall?

      McGuiness’ injuries included “severe vaginal lacerations,” damage to her internal organs and a “full thickness laceration” that caused her bowel to “protrude through her abdominal wall,” her lawsuit says.

      Seems fair to complain to me.

      These are pretty extreme injuries and if that is a possibility from normal use then you can’t say it’s safe.

        Those injuries seem crazy for a water slide! Did the person ride one of the top edges all the way down?

          Afterward, her impact into the standing water at the bottom of the slide caused her swimsuit “to be painfully forced between her legs and for water to be violently forced inside her,” the suit states.

            Yeah, I read the article too. It just seems either highly unlikely or an extremely unfortunate thing to happen. I would expect at least a few other people having similar injuries on this slide.

      Water slides can/are engineered to slow you when you get close to the end. You absolutely should not be put in a position where you could be injured.
