Jackson, Miss. • A Utah woman sued Mississippi’s Fair Commission for negligence and emotional anguish, saying she went airborne on a 40-foot super slide and injured her back.
Lindsay Casperson of Kaysville, Utah, filed the lawsuit against the State Fair Commission and North American Midway Entertainment last month in Hinds County court, The Clarion Ledger reported on Saturday.
Casperson said she saw fair workers spraying liquid onto the slide before her ride in 2018, the complaint alleged. Workers should've known spraying the slide was hazardous and informed visitors, her complaint argued.
On the slide, riders place their feet into burlap sacks and shoot down a slope.
