Play area visit left girl, 9, left 'hardly able to walk'

A nine-year-old girl was left "hysterically crying" from a painful burn on her legs after going down a 'death slide' in shorts at an indoor play centre.

Delilah Price, nine, went down the steep red slide which features a vertical 'death drop' at Playzone in Swansea, during a family day out. But she was left with a burn across her upper thigh which needed medical treatment, and mum Sarah, 38, said she couldn't sit down for days and is now scared of slides.

Playzone's website states visitors should "keep arms, legs and torso covered – no shorts or short skirts". But Sarah said Delilah, sister Dolcie, eight, and their two cousins all wore shorts and t-shirts to the play centre and staff didn't say anything during the visit last Wednesday (August 17).
