Boy's foot is crushed on Universal Studios' E.T. ride, lawsuit claims

I think the signage might be scrutinized across the theme park industry.

Well I guess this confirms that incident. And clears up that the foot was not ripped off.

15 grand? Might as well pay

Couple of things. (1) they are seeking "at least $15,000". Not $15,000. $15,000 is likely the delineation between something akin to small claims court and a jury trial in Florida. (2). They couldn't read the signs. So now parks have to have every sign in every conceivable language? Seriously, who reads the signs? Does a kid not ride ET because of a warning? Warning signs are a catch 22. If you don't have one you're screwed; if you do, it's somehow insufficient. Millions of people have ridden the ride without injury. The ride isn't dangerous or defective.
