Trampoline park owner who failed to report four kids breaking legs faces jail

The owner of an indoor trampoline park could face jail after failing to report four kids breaking their legs at the attraction. A boy and girl, both three-years-old, and two more girls aged nine and 11 were injured while jumping on trampolines and foam pits at Supajump in Trident Trade Park, Cardiff, between April 2018 and August 2019.

The venue's director Philip Booth, 60, from St Mellons, Cardiff was told by a district judge that he had shown 'blatant disregard for the law' and the offences are so serious he would be referred to the crown court for sentencing, Wales Online reports.

In September 2022, after a prosecution by Cardiff City Council, Booth pleaded guilty to four counts of failing to report an accident which saw a victim taken to hospital and two counts of failing to ensure people were not exposed to health and safety risks from using play equipment.
