EXCLUSIVE: Avid runner Daniel Moseley (pictured) was 20 when he suffered a double neck fracture after attempting a double forward somersault into a foam pit at Flip Out Stoke, in Stone, Staffordshire.
Have YOU experienced trampoline park horror?. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENTVictims of trampoline park accidents have revealed how they were left with horrific injuries - in one case leaving a keen runner paralysed for life.
Daniel, formerly a keen runner, said it made his 'blood boil' that the trampoline park did not perform the correct health and safety checks to stop his accident from happening Concerns had been raised about the safety of the park when scores of visitors started being 'injured on a daily basis', with bosses at the nearby Countess of Chester Hospital warning that specialist orthopaedic surgeons were facing unnecessary pressure as a result.
Daniel Moseley became paralysed after jumping off a piece of equipment at Stoke's Flip Out trampoline park in January 2018. On a different occasion, a mother-of-two says she was left passed out in the park after a ball smacked her in the face, with staff unaware of how to provide medical treatment and letting the woman drive her two infants home.
Liza was left in 'most pain I've ever suffered' after leaping from a 13ft high platform into a foam pit at the 40,000 sq ft centre near Ellesmere Port in February 2017 A mother-of-two, who gave her name as Collette, was at the Poole Flip Out when her accident occurred. 'I am lucky nothing happened to me or my children when driving more than half an hour home afterwards.'Lucy said she was left in the 'worst pain of her life' after she smashed her back at the Flip Out park in ChesterThe number of indoor trampolining attractions has surged from just four in 2014 to more than 100.

She told MailOnline: 'I was being encouraged to jump back by the staff member in the section to gain more height. As I jumped back my ankle rolled 90 degrees under me as I landed on the trampoline, breaking the ankle and opening it all the way up under the pressure. Ceri Jones, then 21, said she heard a sickening 'crunch' when her vertebra 'exploded' on impact after she leaped from the Tower Jump platform
Vicky added: 'An ambulance turned up there before we left as a child was injured. I spoke with one of the staff members about how unregulated it all was. 'I'm glad they've faced court action because I could have been left paralysed,' she told the Mail yesterday. Ceri Jones, then 21, said she heard a sickening 'crunch' when her vertebra 'exploded' on impact after she leaped from the Tower Jump platform.
Infuriated customers are calling for dangerous trampoline parks to be investigated after a string of horrifying incidents and gruesome injuries came to light In the same year, George Magraw, then 21, from Ellesmere Port, was told he needed months to recover after he also fractured his spine at the Flip Out park, jumping off the same tower structure.
The University of Leeds student had to undergo gruelling surgery to replace his shattered vertebrae with a metal disk. 'Why on earth aren't these walls padded? They are solid hard walls and children are on this free run zone. I dread to think how I would have felt if it had been one of my children. She said staff at the park told her to hold her lip together with a piece of tissue while her husband drove her to A&E with blood pouring from her mouth.
'We are grateful to our emergency department and orthopaedic specialists for taking time out of their already pressurised schedules to support this work.'
