KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Nebraska woman says a jump meant to thrill visitors at one of Kansas City’s iconic haunted houses left her with two broken ankles, and now she’s suing the attraction, claiming it was dangerously unsafe.

The lawsuit raises questions about safety standards at one of Kansas City’s most famous haunted attractions, The Beast, which draws thousands of visitors each Halloween season.

Leslie Blake filed the lawsuit last week in Jackson County Circuit Court against Full Moon Productions, which owns and operates The Beast. She visited the haunted house in October of 2021.

Blake claims she followed staff instructions to perform “The Beast Jump” a stunt that requires visitors to leap from a second-story window onto an inflatable air pad but landed hard and broke both of her ankles.

The lawsuit alleges that the pad was underinflated, poorly positioned, and lacked proper supervision and warnings. Blake claims Full Moon Productions knew or should have known the attraction was dangerous, citing previous lawsuits involving injuries tied to the same jump.

The lawsuit claims those conditions made the “Beast Jump” dangerous and defective, and that Full Moon Productions should have been aware of the risks.

It also claims the company had been the subject of previous lawsuits involving injuries at its attractions, including injuries connected to the same jump.

Full Moon Productions promotes itself as an industry leader that “adds new scenes and behind-the-scenes technology” each year to give visitors an “incredible sensory experience.”

According to the lawsuit, the company also claims to use “the latest technology to monitor every scene and every visitor,” promising that with fire marshals, extra police officers, and security guards on site, “you can be assured of a safe experience.”

When purchasing tickets online, Full Moon Productions makes you fill out a waiver before you enter their attractions.

Blake’s lawsuit accuses the company of negligence, recklessness and failing to maintain safe conditions for visitors. It seeks more than $75,000 in damages, plus court costs and interest.
