The venue was handed a 'significant fine' after the children were left 'traumatised' by the accidents
Two children were left in 'trauma' when their fingers were mangled in doors at a kids' activity centre. 'Parents Get Lost' has been fined £1 million after the children suffered "significant injuries" during a stay at the company’s adventure centre.
The court heard PGL Travel Limited, which describes itself as “the UK’s leading outdoor education provider”, had been monitoring similar incidents since 2009, and that 520 children across its sites had “sustained finger entrapment in door injuries, some resulting in significant injury and amputation”, Waverley Borough Council said in a press statement.
The two children sustained “significant injuries to their fingers” after getting them trapped in door hinges in the accommodation blocks. According to the council statement, PGL failed to install finger guards to protect children at Marchants Hill until the council issued them with prohibition notices requiring them to do so.
“The children involved should have been enjoying their first independent holiday without parents but were badly wounded and traumatised by their injuries, which required hospitalisation and surgery.” A spokesperson for PGL said the company deeply regretted the injuries that occurred, as well as the previous incidents between 2009 to 2019.
