Case: We present a series of 3 pelvic ring injuries that occurred on 1 high-speed water slide at a theme park in Orlando, FL. This is the first time this injury has been reported at a water park in the United States. All patients underwent surgical management and had an excellent outcome.
Conclusion: Pelvic ring injuries usually occur because of high-energy mechanisms, but unique mechanisms of injuries are possible. We aim to draw attention to this unique mechanism of injury because serious injury may occur to riders. Water parks should use the information presented in this study to develop and refine safety requirements for patrons.
