This is something you don’t hear often. Disney World is being sued over a wedgie. A couple has filed a lawsuit against the company after a woman suffered injuries on one of the resort’s Typhoon Lagoon attractions.
According to the complaint obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Emma and Edward McGuinness seek $50,000 in damages stemming from injuries that the former allegedly suffered during an October 2019 visit to the water park.
The plaintiff claims for her 30th birthday, she visited Typhoon Lagoon while wearing a one-piece bathing suit. During her ride on the Humunga Kowabunga slide, which consists of three body tubes totaling 214 feet in length, she says she suffered vaginal lacerations.
The Complaint acknowledges that riders are instructed to cross their legs and ankles during the ride, but the McGuinnesses failed to instruct on why that 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.”
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.”
