Woman gets her girly-bits ruined by water

[ThatDude]

That's the polite way to say it.

The actual headline is a bit more blunt.

Yang and her friends were playing in the water fountain area and enjoying the light burst of water that would spray them. All of a sudden, while Yang was struck by a powerful burst of water that threw her into the air.

After the fall, Yang experienced extreme stomach pains and was bleeding badly. She was immediately taken to the hospital to undergo medical care.

The doctor said that the fountains water pressure had torn her vagina and damaged her intestines.

During the following 7 months, Yang received 3 surgeries to repair the damage, which left her some pretty bad scars.

Yang is suing the owners of the fountain for around $24,500 in damages.

All the pictures behind that link are work-safe, but they all ain't exactly pretty.

I was expecting this to be another Carl Pavano thread.

No thanks.

Only $24,500? Seems low considering the level of disfigurement even taking into account the low standard of living.

If playing in the water is allowed, then she should be paid the money (and then some). It's a tiny sum and doesn't come anywhere close to making up for the damage shown in the pictures (and I'm not even sure there's a financial way to even that out, she's scarred for life and it isn't pretty at all).

If people are not supposed to play in the water, then she did it at her own risk and isn't entitled to anything. But the company could grab some good press by paying the paltry $24,500.

Maybe they don't have an "emotional suffering" clause for lawsuits in China. I have no idea.

But there's no debating that those scars are something fierce.

[DaShiz23]

not exactly what I thought when I read the title. Honestly, I didn't know what to think. Ouch, I guess.

I guess Asian's aren't as money hungry as North Americans. That amt is probably just to cover the medical expenses. If that happened in US that figure would easily be multi million. I never can understand how money helps "emotional suffering".
