## Summary

An amusement park worker is seeking more than £200,000 from Blackgang Chine’s operator after a 2022 water-slide incident. Kristian Wright says he tried to avoid hitting a child at the bottom of the slide, injuring himself and later suffering a stroke; the case centres on whether the incident caused his stroke.

Wright, 38, says a colleague released his inflatable before checking the slide was clear, and that his injuries have left him disabled and unable to pursue training for a career in social work. The park has admitted primary liability for the accident but disputes that it caused the stroke, arguing Wright was partly responsible and that staff had ways to check whether the slide was clear.
