$7.25 Million Awarded After Harry Potter Ride Accident at Universal! 🧙♂️💥 LOS ANGELES – In a stunning courtroom victory, 74-year-old Pamela Morrison has been awarded $7.25 million after a harrowing incident on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.
The federal jury's decision came after Morrison suffered a crushed spine while attempting to exit the ride. The spine-chilling accident occurred when her safety harness failed to lock, causing her to lose balance and fall from the moving walkway.
Despite Universal Studios' attorneys arguing that Morrison was at fault for not paying attention, the jury found the theme park responsible for her severe injuries. Morrison, who sustained a lower back fracture and torn hip muscles, testified that the fall has left her unable to maintain her previously active lifestyle.
She was awarded $250,000 for economic damages, $2 million for past non-economic damages, and a whopping $5 million for future non-economic damages.
The Harry Potter ride, known for its state-of-the-art technology and immersive experience, takes guests on a magical journey through Hogwarts Castle.
However, this unfortunate incident has cast a shadow over the ride's enchanting reputation. Riders experience thrilling twists, turns, and encounters with iconic creatures from the Harry Potter series, but Morrison's accident highlights the potential risks involved.
As the jury's verdict reverberates through the theme park community, Universal Studios has remained tight-lipped, with no representative available for comment.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures on amusement park rides, ensuring that the magic remains enchanting and not hazardous.
