Woman sues Disney over 'injurious wedgie' at Typhoon Lagoon water park
BUENA VISTA, Fla. - A woman is suing Walt Disney Parks and Resorts claiming a wedgie from a waterslide sent her to the hospital.
Emma McGuinness says she was at Typhoon Lagoon in Buena Vista, Fla. four years ago when she went down a slide Disney describes as an almost-vertical five-story fall. McGuinness claims the attraction pushed her garments into her body, causing bleeding.
She was taken to the hospital by ambulance and later sought gynecological repairs. Her husband is suing too, effectively claiming the alleged harm to his wife's body affects him too.
The lawsuit seeks more than $50,000 in damages, not including interest and costs.
Disney did not immediately return a request for comment.
