A man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool at the Museum of Ice Cream in New York City has filed a lawsuit alleging that the facility was negligent for not warning visitors that it is unsafe to jump into the sprinkle pool.

    Those same promotional materials he claimed told him to “jump in” show people walking around ankle deep. It’s clearly ankle deep… or he assumed they used models with Jesus like powers.

      But it also is surrounded by things like a diving board…

      I saw the pit, and everything about the experience stronngly suggests its deep enough to jump into. I thought it sounded stupid too until i saw the ball pit.

        If, and only if, he was the only person there with nobody else in the “pool” then maybe he could think that. But if anyone else was already in the pool walking around ankle deep, then it’s on him.

    Okay. So. You all know how kids pee in the ball pool?

    I’m gonna assume they also pee in the sprinkle pool. Which two the question.

    Are the sprinkles real? Cuz that’d be a sticky mess…

    Edit: shoulda just read the article . Plastic fake sprinkles. Not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved.
