No, the McDonald's situation had previous documented warnings to the company that their policies regarding maintaining coffee temperatures that high were a safety hazard that they chose to ignore.

The article says that employees advise every rider of what they need to do for the safety briefing. Have there been other injuries on this ride previously? I can't find anything with a quick search and the article doesn't seem to mention anything about previous issues until this woman ignored the safety advice.

This is not informed consent. If anyone was aware that this could be an outcome, the line would be shorter.

I for one would never in a million years expect any adverse outcomes of a water slide park ride to be this severe.
