This is amazing. Couple break into waterpark, injure themselves, and are now suing the waterpark over their injuries.

Will come down to whether the waterpark has taken reasonable steps to prevent trespassers.

 

I don't know if it is UK law, but the tortious liability standard in other common law jurisdictions for trespassers is that you don't deliberately set a trap for them.

Indeed. Trespass is a civil matter.

Occupiers Liability Act in the U.K.   although I think there will be an element of contributory negligence in this.  So, they should have made it more difficult to break in but how fucking stupid do you have to be to go down a water slide in a closed water park whilst pissed.  The damages (if awarded) are reduced by the amount these twats contributed to their own injuries.
