Florida man Eugene Strickland alleges Disney's Downhill Double Dipper ride at Blizzard Beach hurled him from his inner tube in July 2021, causing catastrophic injuries and permanent disability. He’s suing for $50,000, blaming the park’s 'lax safety measures.'

Strickland, who weighed 334 pounds—34 above the ride’s limit—says he was separated from his tube at exhilarating speeds, leading to 'serious bodily injury' and 'loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life.' The lawsuit accuses Disney of failing to warn about the water slide’s dangers.

The Downhill Double Dipper at Disney’s Blizzard Beach promises riders a 50-foot plunge into darkness before a splashdown—Strickland claims he landed face-first on plastic.
