In late December 2013, a Florida woman named Tedi A. Brown suffered a brain injury after falling from a ride at the Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which is owned by country legend Dolly Parton. One year later, "Billboard" reports that Brown and her husband have filed a lawsuit against Dolly Parton Productions Inc. and Herschend Family Entertainment Corp., alleging that the ride's operators are responsible for Brown's headfirst fall, which resulted in "permanent impairments and disabilities." According to the lawsuit, Brown's accident occurred on a ride called the Waltzing Swinger, which features swinging chairs with a lap bar mechanism to keep riders restrained. But Brown lifted the lap bar before it was safe to do so, and due to the wintry weather conditions that day slipped out of her seat and fell 10 feet onto the pavement below, resulting in "spine and neck injuries, torn ligaments, and a broken jaw." The lawsuit alleges that Brown and her family were falsely informed that the ride would be safe under such wintry conditions and that Brown was not warned to keep herself restrained until the ride was completely finished and safely on the ground.
