Stupid people.
GODDARD, Kan. — A new federal study said dozens of people got
sick after visiting a splash park near Wichita, Kansas, last
summer.
The study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said that 21 people contracted Shigella bacteria and
six others became sick with the norovirus after visiting the
splash park at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard.
Another 36 people reported gastrointestinal illnesses after
visiting the splash park but didn’t have lab tests confirming
what caused their illnesses, according to The Wichita Eagle. At
least four people were hospitalized afterward.
Previously, state and local health officials had said that eight
people who visited the park contracted Shigella and other people
tested positive for the norovirus, sapovirus and a type of E.
coli called enteropathogenic E. coli.
The CDC report is based on a survey of 404 people who visited
the splash park last year between May 28 and June 19.
At least three lawsuits have been filed against the splash pad.
One of those was settled, but two others remain pending.
The director of the wildlife park Matt Fouts told the newspaper
he didn’t find the study useful although he’s “all for analyzing
data to learn from the past.”
“It offered little advice for other splash parks besides
ensuring you have signage that states ‘don’t swallow the water’
and offered no additional insight into the investigation,” Fouts
said. “Regardless, it did affirm that there have been no
additional incidents because we took the situation seriously and
found ways to enhance our system and processes so that the
Splash Park is safer than ever.”
