Drunk friends break into water park and break their ankles going down a slide

They now want to sue the park for not having better fencing that prevented them from breaking in.

Last August, a couple of drunk people in the UK decided they wanted to go for a dip in the pool, so they decided to visit one of their local waterparks. The problem was, it was two in the morning, and the park was closed. So 46-year-old Claire Vickers and 44-year-old Barry Douglas had to break in.

After crawling in under a fence, the pair made their way to a slide in the park for a ride. Since the park was closed, all the water was turned off, so Claire and Barry splashed some water down to make it slick and decided to go for it.

Unfortunately, being as they were drunk, they didn't realize that the end of the slide was completely blocked off, and ended up colliding with a barrier upon reaching the bottom of the slide.

Claire broke one of her ankles in the collision, and Barry broke BOTH of his! Neither could move and since no one was around, they had to bang on the slide for two hours before someone heard them, and it took another hour after that to get help.

Both are still in wheelchairs recovering according to the Daily Express, and lucky for them, the waterpark decided not to press charges.

HOWEVER, Claire and Barry are considering suing the park for not having a security guard, or better fencing to prevent them from breaking in.
