Plaintiff took her sons to a play area which included inflatable playing areas and an inflatable slide. Both plaintiff and her sons used the slide multiple times, plaintiff went down the slide again holding her son, where she says her toe got caught on a piece of fabric which pulled her backwards and caused her injury. Plaintiff alleged that the inflatable provider had dangerous jumping surfaces and failed to maintain the slide in question, leading to her injuries.
Shipra and Chloe defended the inflatable slide provider, and showed that there was no evidence to support the plaintiff’s claim that there was any kind of defect with the slide in question. Even after many depositions and years of testimony, Plaintiff could only support her claim with speculation as to the cause of her injuries. Not only had her children and other patrons used the slide with no issues and the inflatable provider had no notice of a dangerous condition. The judge agreed that there was no evidence of negligence and dismissed the inflatable provider prior to trial.
