Family Files $2.8M Lawsuit After Dublin Water Park Accident

While going down one of the park’s water slides, the Emerald Plunge, Susannah Jones’ 10-year-old son flew off the slide and hit the cement. Fortunately, the young boy survived the ordeal, but his mother and father still filed a “$2.5 million lawsuit against the city of Dublin, The Wave, the manufacturers of the slide and the contractors and subcontractors who installed the slide.”
