Unbelievable Wedgie Nightmare: Uncover the Shocking Lawsuit Against Disney for 'Severe' Injuries on Water Slide

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is currently dealing with a lawsuit regarding an alleged incident of a "harmful wedgie" that occurred on a 214-foot water slide at the Typhoon Lagoon water park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The court documents claim that this incident took place on October 14, 2019, while plaintiffs Emma and Edward McGuinness and their family were on a two-week visit to Walt Disney World. The family had chosen to visit the resort as part of the celebration for Emma McGuinness' 30th birthday.

The slide, advertised as a "steep, 5-story plunge in complete darkness" on Disney's website, drops aspiring riders 214 feet and immerses them in a water pool upon completion.

The lawsuit, filed in the Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida last week, claims that Disney had prior knowledge, or should have been aware, of the potential discomfort of "wedgies," especially for women.

The suit claims that when a rider of The Slide reaches the end of the ride and enters the pool of water intended to stop their momentum, the force of the water can cause loose clothing to become wedged in a person's body, a phenomenon referred to as a wedgie. According to the suit, due to the anatomical differences between men and women, women are at a higher risk of experiencing a painful and severe wedgie. The plaintiffs are requesting compensation for negligence in excess of $50,000, not including interest and costs.

CNN has contacted Walt Disney World Resort to obtain a comment.

The lawsuit claims that Disney was negligent and failed in their responsibilities to exercise reasonable care by not providing protective clothing, like shorts, for the slide; not warning McGuinness and other women about the potential risks; and other deficiencies in design and safety.

McGuinness followed the instructions by assuming the correct position with her ankles crossed. However, she unexpectedly became airborne towards the end of the slide, resulting in a collision with the slide itself. This impact heightened the risk of her legs becoming uncrossed or vulnerable to injury.

Upon hitting the slide and entering the water at the bottom, McGuinness experienced a forceful intrusion of water, which caused her swimsuit to be forcefully pushed between her legs and entered her body.

According to the lawsuit, she endured intense internal pain, with blood flowing from her genital area. She was promptly taken to a nearby hospital via ambulance and later transferred to another facility where a specialist could address her gynecologic injuries. Court records indicate that McGuinness sustained "serious and lasting physical harm" along with various consequences such as emotional distress and financial loss.

Alongside the negligence charge, there is a secondary accusation known as "loss of consortium," concerning Emma McGuinness' spouse, Edward McGuinness.

Edward McGuinness and Emma McGuinness have filed a lawsuit seeking compensatory damages and taxable costs, along with a demand for a jury trial, citing Disney's negligence described earlier as the cause of Edward McGuinness' loss of his wife's care, comfort, consortium, support, and services.

CNN has reached out to Wagner, McLaughlin & Whittemore, attorneys for the plaintiffs, for comment.
