 A Tallahassee woman is suing a Mexican restaurant after she fell off its donkey statue and broke her back, according to a lawsuit. In a Friday Leon County Circuit Court filing, Bonn claims that on Aug. 31, 2015, she mounted the life-size donkey statue to have her picture taken when she slipped off the back, fell on the floor and fractured her spine. The civil complaint contends the restaurant encouraged customers to climb on the statue, which without a ladder, step or stair to assist and without a saddle on the slick surface created a safety hazard. Bonn, who is represented by James Biggart of the Morgan & Morgan personal injury law firm, seeks damages of more than $15,000.

– A woman who climbed atop a life-size donkey statue at a Mexican restaurant in Florida is suing said restaurant after she says she fell and broke her back. Kimberly Bonn says she mounted the donkey for a photo during a visit to El Jalisco Southwood in Tallahassee on Aug. 31, 2015, per the Tallahassee Democrat. This wasn't such an unusual thing to do, according to Bonn, as restaurant workers encouraged customers to sit atop the statue. The issue, she alleges, was that there were no steps to help customers onto the donkey's saddle-less back, which was "smooth and slick." In a negligence lawsuit filed last week in Leon County Circuit Civil court, Bonn says she fell "hard to the floor" from the donkey and fractured her spine, reports Florida Politics. She's seeking more than $15,000 in damages. Meanwhile, a group in support of the restaurant has received hundreds of likes on Facebook.
