Yeah, this is far more than just a 'painful wedgie.'
I'm getting strong 'stupid woman sues McDonalds after spilling coffee on herself (except it was like seriously major disfiguring burns but shhh about that)' vibes from that headline
It says she was instructed on the safety measures to take, but not "why." Gives strong "you don't tell me what to do" energy.
Nah bro, more likely it's 'well you didn't say it could seriously injure or kill me so it's probably not important to listen to.'
This is coincidentally also the framework for how adolescent males navigate the world.
Asking why you have to do something is smart in every case. I ask why I'm asking to do something all the time. If it's not a valid reason why I should be doing something, I just don't do it. And if somebody won't tell you why you're supposed to be doing something and that's a giant red flag. So somebody asks you why just tell him
Let it play out in court. If she's the only one that got injured, and it's because she intentionally did something wrong, then the court will take that into account.
If people are regularly injured, and she's just the worst case, and it's a common problem, then the court will take that into account too.
The media only cares about clicks, so you can't trust their filter to be fair to the real story.
For the record, the article attributes that to her or her lawyers. They could be lying but in rather doubt it.

The rest of that quote is worth adding
The McGuinness' suit categorizes the experience as a "painful wedgie," and alleges that she "suffered severe and permanent bodily injury including severe vaginal lacerations, a full thickness laceration causing Plaintiff's bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall, and damage to her internal organs."
...she "suffered severe and permanent bodily injury including severe vaginal lacerations, a full thickness laceration causing Plaintiff's bowel to protrude through her abdominal wall, and damage to her internal organs."
50k is nowhere near enough.

Damn
Hmm you're right that is a bit of a disconnect.
"Extremely painful, life-altering wedgie."
There we go!
Why in the world would they themselves describe that as just a "wedgie"? With the assumption that the latter description is accurate and can be corroborated with a medical professional, that's a massive misnomer that seriously misrepresents what happened.
This title sound like of of those titles that big companies pay for to make the lawsuit sound like bullshit to cover up their shit
Damn, that is fucking awful. I hope she feels better soon.... ugh. Always hate when this shit happens. She shouldn't be subjected to that, but also I love Disney World and the memories it's brought me and my family. Lose / Lose situation in my eyes.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ, that's horrifying. If Disney's at fault, she deserves all the money for that.
At least it saved his life
