Unhappy You must leave Aquaman because you have no hands

Man born without hands sues Six Flags theme park after being kicked off Aquaman Splashdown water ride | Mail Online

Clint Bench, who does not have fully formed hands, says he was 'embarrassed' after being told to get off the ride by staff at the Six Flags Over Texas in front of his children.

The father-of-two, from Weatherford, Texas, said when he tried to board the ride last May he was told by an employee to leave 'because he does not have hands', according to Dallas News.

It sucks, but I understand a liability issue when I see one. He probably does too and he's just sueing for the money.

And the shame of it is, due to a lawsuit happy world, rules were made at the theme park, and because of the rules, a lawsuit happy man has a lawsuit and will probably win or receive a settlement.

Then the next time somebody wants to take their kids to a theme park the ticket prices will have gone up and new rules will be made so that your kids won't even be allowed on a quarter of the rides.

sad but true, for his OWN Protection, like the vet last yr, without enough lower legs left, if he spun off a coaster, people would be over his death
