Splash Mountain Personal Injury Accident

Social distancing and sanitation can help keep Covid-19 at bay when visiting Walt Disney World, but an amusement park outbreak is not why the happiest place on earth is making headlines right now.

This past weekend, one of the most popular rides in the park, Splash Mountain, was doing more sinking than splashing. People reports that a log flume began taking on water at the end of the ride as visitors hurried to get out. Water spilled in from the bottoms and sides and while all riders got out safely, the scare caused the ride to close down for the week.

Amusement Park Personal Injury Liability

Can visitors sue Walt Disney World following the sinking Splash Mountain incident? Probably not unless there were injuries as a result of the incident, of which there were none reported. The basis of any personal injury lawsuit is that there are injuries (physical or emotional) stemming from the event. In addition to injuries, those injured at an amusement park can also get paid for the time they missed work, the emotional trauma of the event and more. Here, the visitors would need to show injuries trying to escape the sinking ride in order to have a strong case.

Some of the more common amusement park injuries that you can file a personal injury lawsuit for include:

• Slip and falls
• Ride injuries
• Product liability injuries

Amusement park visitors pay a lot of money for a fun and safe experience and if injuries happen while visiting then the park can (in many instances) be held responsible for the injuries and all the associated financial expenses that come with an injury.
