A woman has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Parks alleging that she sustained a brain injury after she was knocked unconscious and left "limp" and bleeding after riding a waterslide at Typhoon Lagoon in Florida.
A woman has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Parks alleging that she sustained a brain injury after she was knocked unconscious and left "limp" and bleeding after riding a waterslide at Typhoon Lagoon in Florida.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in an Orange County, Florida, Circuit Court, alleges that Disney failed to provide a safe environment and offer a warning that there were no lifeguards at the end of the ride.
NBC News has not verified whether the park has posted signs or warnings about lifeguards on the ride.
The suit states that after the woman's mother and fiance discovered her limp, they asked ride attendants for help. The attendants told the pair that they were not lifeguards and would need to find lifeguards.
“Had Defendant had lifeguards at the end of the ride to watch and help guests coming off the ride, Plaintiff's brain injury would not have occurred as she wouldn’t have been drowning in the water coughing up blood,” the lawsuit says.
