David Shuttleworth and Matthew Melling pleaded guilty to health and safety offences last monthTwo former directors of a trampoline park which became notorious after 11 visitors suffered broken backs could face jail after admitting health and safety offences.
Visitors left traumatised by their life-changing injuries today welcomed the threat of prison sentences - and warned that the centres were unsafe. The charges relate to an investigation into 270 known accidents over a seven-week period between December 2016 and February 2017. 'I'm glad they've faced court action because I could have been left paralysed,' she told the Mail yesterday.
'The firms that are running them need to learn from this and ensure they've got proper health and safety in place.' Shuttleworth, of Barlaston, Staffordshire, resigned as a director of Flip Out Chester's then operator FO World Chester Ltd in 2018 while Melling, of Spinningfields, Manchester, quit in 2020.
