HM: slide of doom

Two woman break into a closed amusement park and slide down the (closed) water slide (without water) without instructions (no instructor because it was closed). They break their legs at a barrier at the end of the slide. Then they sue the park, but with no success.

We have a very few stories of people being idiots in parks, but it's still very unusual -most people having sense to stay off the rides and out of the park when it's closed! Thanks, Uwe.
