Woman sues Disney World, saying the biggest water slide in Typhoon Lagoon left her with vaginal bleeding after a hard landing

• A woman sued Disney World for at least $50,000, legal documents show.
• A complaint said Emma McGuinness suffered "permanent bodily injury" on the Humunga Kowabunga slide.

A woman is suing Disney World, claiming that she was left with permanent injuries and vaginal bleeding after riding the biggest slide at its Typhoon Lagoon.

The complaint, filed on Wednesday, said that Emma McGuinness suffered serious injuries from the Humunga Kowabunga water slide in October 2019. She is seeking at least $50,000.

The document was obtained by Insider but was first published by the specialist outlet Law and Crime.

McGuinness, who was celebrating her 30th birthday, was going down the 214-foot-long slide when she suddenly became "airborne and was slammed downward," the complaint said.

On the Disney website, the "Humunga Kowabunga" water slide is described as "three side-by-side enclosed body slides" that riders go down in the dark.

This video shows what riding the slide looks like:

"The impact of The Slide and her impact into the standing water at the bottom of The Slide caused Ms. McGuinness' clothing to be painfully forced between her legs and for water to be violently forced inside her," the complaint against Disney World said.

McGuinness, who was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, "experienced immediate and severe pain internally and, as she stood up, blood began rushing from between her legs," it said.

She was hospitalized with "permanent bodily injury" and "vaginal lacerations," the complaint said. It said that the incident also caused her bowel to protrude "through her abdominal wall" in a hernia.

The complaint argued that none of these injuries would have happened if Disney had provided the woman and other riders with protective clothing and better warnings.

It noted that riders are told to cross their legs at the ankles as they go down, but says they aren't given information on why that is.

It didn't say whether McGuinness had her legs crossed, only saying that the way she went down "increased the likelihood of her legs becoming uncrossed."

"Because of a woman's anatomy, the risk of a painful 'wedgie' is more common and more serious than it is for a man," the complaint said.

Disney did not respond to Law & Crime's request for comment before September 29, or to Insider's request, sent over the weekend.
