Lawsuits against Disney over severe injuries caused by water slide 'wedgies'

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is facing a lawsuit over an alleged "injurious wedgie" caused by a water slide at its Typhoon Lagoon water park in Florida. The plaintiffs claim that Disney knew or should have known about the risk of painful wedgies, particularly for women, and failed to provide protective clothing or adequately warn riders. The incident resulted in severe internal injuries for the woman involved, and her husband is also suing for loss of consortium. The plaintiffs are seeking damages exceeding $50,000 and a jury trial.
