In a lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, Kimberly Panetta claims she suffered permanent injuries after being struck by a massive wave at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. During a family trip in April 2022, Panetta was overwhelmed while trying to rescue her daughter from a water slide, resulting in severe scrapes and bleeding. Her husband remarked that the incident could have left their young daughter seriously injured without Panetta's quick thinking. The event, occurring at what is marketed as the happiest place on Earth, has left the family in shock and Panetta with lasting scars.
"I just thank God I had the sense to push her above as I was getting dragged. I knew if she was the one getting dragged she would have been cut all over."
"You think you're in the happiest place on Earth and the safest place but it's like being dragged on concrete - it's very rough."
