Heavy sandwich, man

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

No good deed…
Today I ran across the street to help a woman who had fallen off her bicycle. While running, I tripped and broke my arm. Surgery is needed. FML

It's all deregulation's fault
Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML

Fit as a fiddle
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML

Today, I was at a party, and I sat down on a chair. While conversing with friends, I shifted places on the chair, and broke it. Embarrassed, I then stood up and change chairs. After moving to the next chair, I broke that one too. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML

You may be able to simply file a claim for damages/expenses without a lawsuit if that's too messy, though a lawyer may be necessary for negotiating, etc. The city (or whoever owns the park) is liable for proper maintenance and construction of their facilities and any injuries that result. If they're smart they'll negotiate a settlement rather than having to sue, though you may get a bigger payday suing, it will be a hassle.

That sounds awful. I would at the least call or email someone from the city. Doesn’t hurt to try.
