'Scared of heights' injury claimant filmed on Europe's biggest waterslide

A bodybuilder who claimed an accident left him scared of heights was exposed when a video emerged of him careering down Europe's highest waterslide.

Ben Bardsley, 38, of Stockport, Greater Manchester made a personal injury claim after falling into a pond in 2015.

He said it left him with a fear of heights and unable to lift weights.

His case was dismissed as "nonsense" at Manchester County Court after footage was shown of him being propelled 108ft (33m) down the Verti-Go in Spain.

'Lost everything'
The gym owner had brought a claim against Warrington Koi and Aquatics which was digging a pond in his garden in July 2015.

As he inspected the work, Mr Bardsley was struck by the bucket of the digger and knocked into the pond.

The court heard he claimed in medical evidence he fell with his arms outstretched, which caused injuries to his neck and back and left him unable to lift weights and caused an anxiety of heights.

But insurance company Aviva, which acted for the pond supplier, was suspicious and instructed lawyers to investigate further.

The probe uncovered an array of posts on social media showing him lifting large weights after the date of his fall.



Mr Bardsley also posted a video of himself grinning as he enters a capsule on the Verti-Go slide in Benidorm which descends at more than 62mph (100kph) in just three seconds.

He is also seen laughing and flexing his muscles in front of a group of children as he leaves the ride.

Dismissing his claim on 23 January, Recorder Richard Hartley QC said the idea that someone going down such a slide would struggle with heights was "nonsense" and ruled he was guilty of "fundamental dishonesty in respect of his claim".

Damian Rourke of Clyde & Co, representing Aviva, said the claimant's damages were estimated at about £4,500 but by "exaggerating" his injuries to four to five times the actual amount "he lost everything".

He was ordered to pay £14,000 in legal costs.

Caught some nice air there.

 

I think Roscoe is getting those Duke boys this time!

 

I kept wondering what hit the parked Camaro and realized he shot that big boulder into it when he launched.

Somebody done put an island in the middle of the road.

 

I always disliked roundabouts. Seems no one plays into common courtesy and allowing each corner to have their turn to enter the roadway. More as though everyone else must wait until a cluster of cars have finished entering the roadway. Me, I’d prefer to go right over the roundabout, but I have not intentions of getting airborne.

 

'Twas a she.

It was actually a 4-way stop with some decoration.

 

Yeah. In my humble opinion, those kind of intersections are really bad ideas. Leave it a 4-way, or make it a true roundabout.

 

I had one out in my bike shed in 1999. Big black rotary dial phone hanging on the wall. Sure could hear that thing ring!

 

Mine was almost like a piece of furniture.

 

I've never seen one like that before. That's cool! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you read that title correctly. The producer of condiments, French, is now making mustard ice cream. We have all seen our fair share of interesting ice cream flavors, such as wasabi and whatnot, and this is another new one.

Mustard Ice Cream
French’s wanted a new interesting snack of National Mustard Day, which falls on August 3rd. So, they involved an ice cream and sandwich company, Coolhaus, to help with their plan.

After 115 years of simply using mustard to add flavor to things, they wanted to change things up. The company thought, why not ice cream?

Coolhaus CEO Natasha Case shared her experience with helping their new ice cream. It was a challenge because they wanted to incorporate the brand and taste of the mustard while making a delicious treat as well.

They use real French mustard in the ice cream and then incorporate cake batter to create a delicious snack.

HOW IT TASTES
One described the taste of this new ice cream flavor. It has a creamy base and a rather sweet taste. This ice cream tastes more like a soft pretzel with little hints of mustard. If they didn’t know better, it seemed like salted caramel ice cream.

NATIONAL MUSTARD DAY
On National Mustard Day they plan to serve their ice cream along with a pretzel cookie. You can get some of this delicious French mustard ice cream in Los Angeles and New York City. Coolhaus will be serving scoops on August 2-4 and August 9-11.

French will also have their own ice cream truck that will be in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Hamptons throughout August 1-3.

However, if you don’t live in any of those cities and still want to try out the new intriguing ice cream, you are still in luck. French has created a recipe that they will share with you all. Now you can enjoy this new flavor of ice cream no matter where you are at.
