A man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool at the Museum of Ice Cream in New York City has filed a lawsuit alleging that the facility was negligent for not warning visitors that it is unsafe to jump into the sprinkle pool.

    And that’s an awesome reaction that corporations love, “Don’t you feel like an idiot hurting yourself? It means you’re weak as a person and has nothing to do with our extremely lax safety standards!”

    Don’t let a little bit of silly pride harm you - if this was a serious injury that could have long term health implications you should make sure you’re able to afford appropriate care without bankrupting yourself and anyone who judges you for taking care of yourself can get fucked.

    If this was a dumbass stunt that they knew was unsafe then the initiator can get fucked for putting themselves in unnecessary danger.

    Which one it is is the important question…but if you ever find yourself in scenario #1 be kind to yourself.

      I was mostly joking about the context of the accident like, if someone asks why im wearing a cast, “sprained my ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool at the ice cream factory” would def get stuck in my throat coming out
