Woman Who Broke Ankle on L.A. Skyscraper Slide Files Suit
A lawsuit claims a woman suffered a broken ankle on a recently opened glass-enclosed slide attached to the exterior of a downtown Los Angeles skyscraper.
City News Service says the lawsuit filed this week against building owner OUE Skyspace LLC and a concession company claims negligence.
Fifty-seven-year-old Gayle Yashar and husband Morty Yashar of Woodmere, New York, seek unspecified damages.
The Skyslide opened last month as part of a renovation of the 72-story U.S. Bank Tower. The slide spans 45 feet from the 70th floor to the 69th.
An email seeking comment was sent to OUE Skyspace.
