My 2 year old daughter already understands that on a hot day, when we go to the park, the slides are most likely going to be hot, and to either avoid them, or touch them first. This stupid lady thinks a black bench on a 100 degree day is a great spot to sit. Should have just burnt her up. #Darwin.
Temperatures on the day of the annual Blue & Silver scrimmage were more than 100 degrees, and the bench that Carrillo sat on was black.
"The bench was uncovered and openly exposed to the extremely hot August sun," the suit, which was filed in Tarrant County civil court, states. "The combination of the nature of the black, marble bench and hot sunlight caused the bench to become extremely hot and unreasonably dangerous."
Carrillo's lawyer, Michael Wash, told KDFW-TV that his client initially knew she had been burned but didn't realize the extent of the injuries until receiving medical attention. She did not stay for the game, according to Wash.
"She sat down on this black bench, outside an entrance and unfortunately she suffered third-degree burns as a result of it and had subsequent skin grafts," he told KDFW.
The suit alleges that Cowboys Stadium posted no warning signs alerting fans that the benches could be hot.
