Slingshot Gold Coast: Women threaten to sue over ‘dog’ law

Two women have threatened to sue the company behind a Slingshot ride on the Gold Coast after claiming workers forced them to endure the ride a second time despite their objections.

Australian teenagers Brooke and Chloe worked up the courage to take the Slingshot ride last week, but what was supposed to be a fun day out turned into their worst nightmare.

The couple shared footage of their ordeal on social media with the caption: “Imagine the workers forgot to turn on the camera and sent him upstairs for the second time.”

The video captured the women in a state of panic as workers said: “Send them back.”

Brooke and Chloe were heard saying “no, no, no” to the workers, with Brooke explaining that she felt sick and was “going to throw up.”

“Are you serious? What the fuck!” Brooke said. “I’m going to sue you two. What the fuck! Why are we going back?”

However, despite their protests, the ride begins to move and launches the couple into the air at 160 km/h.

Chloe screams as she holds Brooke, who is visibly distraught and crying as she screams “that was so fucking dog.”

Brooke believes they were sent on the second trip after their first trip was not captured on video due to human error.

It is common practice to take videos of participants during the Slingshot tour so that they have a memento of their experience to take home.

Slingshot Gold Coast strongly refuted claims that they were coerced without their consent.

“Guests were asked if they wanted to ride again to successfully record their experience. They agreed to this second ride. The second ride was conducted with their consent,” the spokesperson said.

“We encourage our guests to relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the experience. Our attractions are designed with safety as a top priority and our staff is trained to ensure guest comfort.”
