'Dodgy landing' on inflatable assault course leaves man with internal bleeding

A British tourist was hospitalised with internal bleeding after a horror backflip on Thailand inflatable assault course. Callum Ryan, 21, said a "dodgy landing" made his lungs hit his ribs, causing his lungs to bleed and leaving him coughing up blood.

After the jump Callum and girlfriend, Beth Colley, 19, travelled from the Grand Canyon water park, Chiang Mai, to Pye, on a three-and-a-half-hour coach journey. When they arrived, Callum was feeling so unwell he went to the nearest hospital - but claims it was closed and he was told to head back in the morning.

The next day he was given an X-ray and told he'd dislocated his ribs and damaged his lungs. Callum then had to head back to Chiang Mai - to the Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. He was kept there for a few days while he was assessed.
