A Fall From Grace |
Wednesday, February 15 2017 |
A Florida woman is suing a popular Mexican restaurant after she fell from its plastic life-size donkey statue while taking a photo. Kimberly Bonn has filed a lawsuit in Leon County Circuit Court accusing El Jalisco restaurant in Tallahassee of negligence for "encouraging" patrons to climb on the back of the donkey statue to take a picture. According to the filing, Bonn is seeking $15,000 in damages to cover her costs after an alleged fall from the donkey fractured her spine. Bonn claims the restaurant should have provided safety equipment, such as a ladder or step and a saddle, for diners to use so they would not slide off the slippery, hard plastic surface of the sombrero-wearing donkey. According to news reports, the restaurant chain has declined to comment, and worried fans have created a "For the Donkey" Facebook page. —Source: usatoday.com
