‘Low-risk’ wooden playground collapses on child, exposing his skull through 3-inch wound

A rotten wooden frame had reportedly broken in two, leaving children in tears and needing hospital treatment. Children were then seen playing on the broken equipment only days later as the Council failed to clear it up. Independent inspectors classified the playground as low risk, with the council doing two separate inspections on the playground in May and stating they did not find ‘significant issues,’ with it.
