Stuntman who broke back and tore HEART in 30ft Legoland trapeze fall sues for £200k
“In consequence Mr Pollitt landed on the wooden decking surface that surrounded the pool, rather than in the water, having fallen from a height of around eight to 10 metres.Mr Pollitt says he was knocked out in the fall and suffered “serious and life-threatening injuries” - including smashed ribs and a collapsed lung, a torn liver, fractured chest bone and a fractured spine.
The former professional free runner, needed open heart surgery to treat damage done to the valve of his heart and will be on heart medication for the rest of his life, court papers say.Other injuries included damage to both elbows, soft tissue injuries to both knees and a head injury, he claims. Before his fall, Mr Pollitt was “extremely fit and enjoyed a range of very physical activities”, said his barrister, but now he has to deal with chronic pain and has had to shelve many of his favourite pastimes.
But lawyers for SGA Productions Ltd say that Mr Pollitt must prove what, if any, injuries he suffered and how they have affected his life before any payout can be agreed.The stuntman broke his back and tore his heart in the fallHe came off this Russian swing during the Pirates of Skeleton Bay show in 2017The performer lay injured on the floor as fellow staff members rushed to help
