Business owners are masters at protecting us from the little things that cause bumps and scrapes ( I’ll bet there were three signs warning kids not to run at the pool) and completely ignoring the major hazards that can kill patrons or their loved ones. It always amazes me when I confront some of these company reps with the well-known dangers that exist in their business, and I am met with a complete (and honest,I think) state of disbelief. Why should I know the business better than the owner? In fact, the public is sometimes better informed about the hazard, which makes for an interesting dichotomy in the law where the customer knows more about the assumed risk than the business owner offering it. In any event, kids under age 12 are not usually capable of negligence, so I think Great Wolf Resorts are taking a tremendous risk whether they actually know it or not.

Besides, NO family wants to see their child’s tiny intestines sucked out of his/her little body, nor drowned, while just trying to catch some R&R.

How frightening…!

Perhaps, but I spoke with the manager out of curiosity. He said that 99 percent of the injuries are slip and falls. It is an open and obvious danger that they are not sued over. Of course, when things go really wrong, I am sure it is pretty darn bad.
