Pool removes 6 year old's intestines

I once read a bio someone had "written from experience" an event exactly like this and it was just so far-fetched... and was totally fictional.

Sounds like bullshit.
 
People have also drowned from getting their hair sucked into these things before.
 
man, this is one hard story to stomach..it's seems to be full of shit.
 
must have been terrible if true. all that fear must have given her butterflies in her stomach..
 
Yeah. If that happened to me, I would be so scared, I would have shit myself.
 
She must be gutted... sorry couldn't resist. Thank goodness she survived
 
Oh man. ;(

:remorse:


I feel bad for joking about this. Were totally going to hell.

If I didn't laugh I'd cry though. Poor girl.


She must be drained after such a traumatic experience.





lol :devil:

It's hardly the golf clubs fault, something as obviously dangerous as that should have been dealt with in the design stages. Not just to stop intestines being ripped out but feet and other things being sucked into it.

It's their fault for the oversight. Nothing to protect kids and keep them away from it, and it's the golf club's pool, so it's their responsibility. That's the way the law works.
 
Anyone who enjoyed hearing this piece of news (I know I did!) should check out the short story 'Guts' by Chuck Palahniuk.
 
Seriously, there needs to be more to this story than a website reporting on someone else's personal website that disappeared after the report.

I think it's time we 'got to the bottom' of this.

Forgive the necromancy. I always hear these crazy stories and never find out what happened. I stumbled upon this today, and remembered this thread.

What happened:
On June 29, 2007, Taylor's parents took her to the Minneapolis Golf Club in St. Louis Park. She was paddling unsupervised when she sat on the open drain of a wading pool and her buttocks were sucked into the aperture. The suction tore out a large section of her intestinal tract through her rectum.

Similar happenings:
The incident was similar to a 1993 incident in North Carolina involving Valerie Lakey, who was 5 years old at the time. Coincidentally, the pool drains in question in both the Lakey and Taylor cases were manufactured by Sta-Rite, a division of Minnestota-based Pentair.

Aftermath
The incident has been described by some media reports as a "freak" accident.[2] However, the risk of this sort of accident has been published before in the United States[3] and cases in other countries have also been documented.[4] Furthermore, Taylor's parents alleged that the golf club "was aware of the serious risk to swimmers in the kiddie pool [...] but did not take action to eliminate that risk". They also alleged that the manufacturer of the drain outlet was aware of the potential risk, but failed to issue adequate warnings. The family filed suit against both parties.[5]

Between 1980 and 1996 in the United States, 15 other similar accidents involving evisceration and disembowelment caused by pool suction units had occurred.[6] However, Taylor's accident increased public awareness of pool safety and led to legislative change. In December 2007, President George W. Bush signed federal legislation that provides incentives for states to adopt comprehensive pool safety laws. Similar laws had been adopted in at least two states of Australia 20 years earlier.[7][8]

Injury and subsequent death
Taylor lost 21 feet (6.4 m) of her small intestine in the accident, leaving her with short bowel syndrome. Following the accident, Taylor was hospitalized, and received a rare triple organ transplant to replace her small intestine, liver, and pancreas, all of which were damaged in the accident. She was unable to eat or drink, and required total parenteral nutrition. Nine months after the accident, she died two months short of her seventh birthday, due to complications resulting from her injuries.

I will kill all that you love
 
That's a new one for me. :O

I've heard of idiots playing around with an air compressor getting seriously hurt before, (sticking the hose nozzle at some guy's butt thinking he'd be cute, but instead blows him up from the inside and ruptures his colon) but not a wading pool drain.
 
Daymn. D:

You'd think this is the kind of flaw in the pool design that they would have noticed...intestine?
 
I wonder what the warning signs would look like... : >

-dodo
 
And the 20 feet of intestines were never found. Rumours say that they are still somewhere in the sewers below the USA searching for a new butthole.
 
well, it's not like it sucked up her large intestine. I mean come on, THAT would be ridiculous.
 
This happens quite often unfortunately :/
 
wtf. Im trying to picture the gore. How about the parents seeing the daughter coming out of the pool with intestines hanging out of her ass. WOW wtf...
 
D: D: D: D: D: D: D:

:'(

****ing. Horrible.

That is all.
 
She would be seven now.

That's legal in some middle-eastern countries.
 
Gruesomly awesome.
