A MUM said she was left in excruciating pain when she broke both her ankles after jumping into a foam pit at a trampoline park.
Amal Adan said she plunged through the soft pit and landed feet first on the hard ground below – shattering both her ankles at Jump Evolution in Essex.
Almost in tears as she relived the incident, she told The Sun Online that her 12-year-old niece had been nervous to jump the 10ft into the foam pit so she agreed to go first.
But seconds after the jump, the 30-year-old said she was in horrific pain.
She said: "It was insanely painful, it was really horrible. I’ve never felt that kind of pain in my life."
The woman, from Coventry, said: "When I jumped, I landed with my feet down on the ground.
"I thought there really and truly was going to be more foam or a trampoline at the bottom to avoid that kind of thing."
Instead, she plunged straight through the foam, with her feet smashed against the hard floor.

She has now had to go through intensive physiotherapy since the January 2 incident.
The support worker said: “I’ve been trying to walk a little with crutches but it’s never going to be the same again.
“Once you have broken you ankles, it will heal but it won’t be the same.”
The mum to a three-year-old boy, Amal said she was still on crutches and needed help from family and friends to run around after her toddler.
Amal said she now wanted to sue the company but was left unsure of how to proceed, with all visitors made to sign waivers before going on to jump.
She said: "I just want everyone else to know the dangers of it."
A young nurse recently revealed how she wanted to sue a similar trampoline park, Flip Out, after she suffered a back fracture and burst vertebrae.
Russell Tiller, managing director for Jump Evolution said: "It's extremely regrettable that anyone should suffer an injury at a trampoline park.
"We are well above the BSI guidelines in terms of safety and embrace the new guidelines.
"In regards to Amal, she didn't pay to jump, she was a spectator and jumped from the tower. We have clear signage around the park which she ignored.
"We do ask all customers to adhere to rules. You have to go through a safety briefing whether you are a customer or a spectator.
"It is regrettable and we hope Amal makes a full recovery."
