Trampoline park directors fined over multiple injuries

The owners of a trampoline park where 11 people sustained fractured spines have been fined and ordered to do community service.

David Elliot Shuttleworth, 34, and Matthew Melling, 33, were the directors of Flip Out Chester, where 270 people were injured between December 2016 and February 2017.

The number of local A&E admissions was such that a delegation of medics visited the site near Ellesmere Port to raise concerns.

Shuttleworth was fined £6,500 and Melling £6,300, with each ordered to do 250 hours of unpaid community service.
