An American woman is doing the most American thing of all time and attempting to sue Disney World for being hit by a wave in a wave pool.

Despite being in an area of Disney World called the Typhoon Lagoon, which is an area specifically designed to create waves, the woman is claiming that being knocked over by one is worthy of claiming $2 million. She's the reason bags of peanuts need 'may contain nuts' written on them.
According to her lawsuit, she was 'pummelled' by the waves. They dragged her along the concrete floor, resulting in permanent scars. The pictures she snapped from the event show slight grazing on her legs. However, she claims that she is now "scarred and self-conscious" and "keeps her legs covered and must tolerate being hot and uncomfortable as a result." The words of her lawyer husband are deafeningly loud here.
The area where Kimberly Panetta was so brutally assaulted by water is known as Typhoon Lagoon in Disney World. It is a swimming area in which waves can reach six feet in the deeper areas. They are preceded by an alarm and occur every 110 seconds. They diminish toward the shallow area and leave plenty of time to leave the area.
