A woman in New York is sued Disney Resorts after she claimed she was injured by a “mammoth wave” at Typhonlagun water park.

Kimberly Panetta, 45, from Dix ​​Hills, new, said she was on vacation with her family at Typhoon Lagoon-a Disney-owned water park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida-in April 2022 when the incident occurred, per a legal complaint submitted in the Federal court in New York on 11 April.

According to the complaint that was obtained by people, Panetta claimed that she was standing in a kiddie pool, waiting for her young daughter to descend an age-adapted picture when an “mammoth wave” from another area in the pool beat her from the side with so much power that “it pumulated her.”

The complaint stated that her body “went over the cement or gun and caused serious” road rashes “or scrap that were serious and deep.”

Panetta is now looking for $ 2 million in damages for continued “medical care and treatment” and “mental anxiety”, according to the complaint.

The complaint claimed to be panetted Family holidays were “ruined” Because “she got stuck around and applied bandages, ointments and creams and was forced to avoid swimming and enjoy planned visits to the parks.”

The complaint also claimed that Panetta now has “scars” and “marks” on her leg that makes her feel self -conscious, and that she now does not wear clothes that reveal her legs, even when it is “hot and uncomfortable.” The plaintiff also claimed that this is a direct “result of negligence” on behalf of the park.

In the complaint, Panetta claimed that the park “would not have allowed the wave pool or” Typhoon “power waves to enter the Kiddie area and pumble the parents who (inadvertently wait for their young children to go down.”

The complaint also claimed that the barriers around the children’s area “should have protected mothers who stood at the bottom of the picture from being thrown, thrown and pummered by powerful waves.”

People were enough for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, as did Panetta’s lawyer, for comments on Saturday, April 26, but did not receive an immediate response.

Panetta recalled the event – and specifically the wave – while recently talked to New York Post.

“It was so powerful that it actually pulled us underwater on several feet,” she said. “I just thank God, I had the feeling of pushing her (my daughter) above when I was drawn. I knew that if she was the one who was pulled she would have been cut over.”

“I felt pain immediately and I looked down and it was blood,” she continued. “You think you’re in the happiest place on earth and the safest place, but it’s like being pulled on concrete – it’s very rough.”

Panetta also told the outlet that her children, when ages 3 and 7 were “killed” – and also shocked to see “blood pour from her mother.”

“We all had these plans and we had to cancel everything. I couldn’t even go in the pool where we lived. I had to stay inside. Everything was completely ruined,” she explained.

Panetta’s husband, Frank Panetta, added that their young daughter “would definitely have been injured if my wife had not kept her up and taken the injury from the injury”, noting that his wife went “for 15 or 20 feet.”

He also told me The post That the resort in the end only offered its family a credit of $ 250 after the incident.
