    At first I thought there was a wedge on the waterslide… my damn European ass hah… but honestly. Isn’t that kind of expected from the tallest and fastest slide? You know it’s the tallest and fastest…… Why would you complain about the standing water that is there to save your ass from hitting a wall?

      McGuiness’ injuries included “severe vaginal lacerations,” damage to her internal organs and a “full thickness laceration” that caused her bowel to “protrude through her abdominal wall,” her lawsuit says.

      Seems fair to complain to me.

      These are pretty extreme injuries and if that is a possibility from normal use then you can’t say it’s safe.

      Water slides can/are engineered to slow you when you get close to the end. You absolutely should not be put in a position where you could be injured.
