Why aren't the lawsuits flying at Detroit's other parks? Well many people don't find it worth the time and effort, and even worse if they lose and have to fork up a bunch of legal fees. Also all public parks in Detroit are likely insured against any accidents.

Pretty sure the city self insures. Someone sues and the city settles or loses, the cost is on the back of taxpayers.
