“The belt was still moving, and so my foot went on that belt, and then [...] my other foot went onto the stationary floor, and it knocked me off my feet”, said Morrison, describing the fall in court documents.
Morrison’s attorney, Taylor Kruse, told the jury her fall had been preventable and caused by a failure of park employees to halt the moving walkway to allow the woman to step off the ride safely.
“Given that Plaintiff Morrison was walking in the lateral direction of the moving walkway while feeling rushed to get off the moving walkway, her gait instability would have been greater.”.
‘The belt was still moving, and so my foot went on that belt, and then [...] my other foot went onto the stationary floor, and it knocked me off my feet’ stated the 74-year-old.
However, as she disembarked the ride, she slipped off a moving walkway and fell onto solid ground – an incident that resulted in a catastrophic fracture to her lower back and damage to the muscles around her hip, stated court documents.
