Claire Vickers, 46, and her friend Barry Douglas, 44, were stuck on a slide for two hours after breaking into Aldershot Lido when it was closed.
Claire shattered her ankle and Barry broke both of his ankles and fibular, reports the Mirror.
Gran Claire also had her shin bone poking out of her leg after the pair got drunk, broke into the lido and decided to go down the slide, nor realising there was a metal barrier placed at the exit.
And let that be a lesson to you, eh?
But wait! What's the lesson again?
While no police action was taken against either Claire or Barry, he suggested that there should have been "better security" at the waterpark.
He also said that it was "too easy to get into" and warned that they may be taking "legal action" against the Lido.
Ah, yes. 'Where there's blame, there's a claim'...

If they do take legal action, the waterpark should revisit it with the police and insist they be charged with breaking and entering
ReplyDeleteNo sympathy at all for these idiots but who thought that it was a good idea to have a barrier at the bottom of the slide rather than the top?
ReplyDelete"...the waterpark should revisit it with the police and insist they be charged with breaking and entering..."
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they weren't in the first place?
"...but who thought that it was a good idea to have a barrier at the bottom of the slide rather than the top?"
Someone who didn't fancy climbing the ladder to fix it? 😣
Just another example of British justice, blame the victims of crime not the criminal. Victims often have cash or savings that can be looted, going after criminals is just too much like hard work these days.
