Disney ride caused serious ’gynecologic injuries’ for woman after waterslide ’wedgie’ during 30th birthday celebration

A woman says that a trip down a waterslide at a Disney World theme park ended in injuries serious enough to require surgery.

Emma McGuinness was at the Typhoon Lagoon water park — part of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida — in October 2019 to celebrate her 30th birthday, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday. While at the park, she decided to take the ‘Humunga Kowabunga’ waterslide.

‘As Ms. McGuinness neared the end of The Slide, her body lifted up, she became airborne, and she was slammed downward against The Slide — which increased the likelihood of her legs becoming uncrossed or otherwise exposing herself to injury in using The Slide,’ the complaint says. ‘The impact of The Slide and her 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. She experienced immediate and severe pain internally and, as she stood up, blood began rushing from between her legs.’
