A MUM was left in agony after she broke her ankle while visiting a trampoline park with her children and has claimed staff joked "she was on drugs" when she came around.
Leeann Nash says she was told to try walking on the injured foot by staff at the Oxygen Freejumping Trampoline Park, who were convinced it was just a sprain.
Mrs Nash said: “I heard a snap and knew I’d broken it.
“I slipped and fell after losing my footing.
“I was on the ground screaming. I said to staff that they needed to call an ambulance but they didn’t, they said it was just a sprain.
“Then I was made to try and walk. The pain was so intense I fainted.”
Mum-of-six Mrs Nash, 40, had visited the park off Purley Way, Croydon, in May, with kids Abe, three, Anais, four, Sophia, eight, Harry, nine, and Grace, 14.
They were there to attend a party thrown by one of her daughter's friends and were in a toddler session when she snapped her ankle.

Mrs Nash has claimed staff joked behind her back - in earshot of her daughter - that she may be “on drugs”, didn’t have any first aid or ice packs and hadn’t filled in a health and safety form about the incident.
She said: “While I was blacked out the staff were saying that I was taking drugs - my daughter and friend heard them..
“I mean how insulting. I have never taken drugs in my life and with five children in tow?
“I’d fainted and when I came round they asked me how many children I was there with and for a second I was like ‘I don’t know…two, three, four? I wasn’t exactly in the best frame of mind.”
Mrs Nash, of Croydon, now wants to warn other people to think twice before using trampoline parks.
Oxygen Freejumping has defended its safety record.
A spokesman said: “We have been in contact with Leeann Nash extensively over recent weeks in order to check on her progress.
“Both the site and our group operations and compliance team have spoken directly to her.
“We adhere to exemplary levels of health and safety to minimise the risks that exist within any leisure activity .
"Our management team have exceptional records across the leisure sector.
“Our organisation-wide accident rate is 0.14% across our group, which means trampolining at Oxygen Freejumping is safer than playing football, swimming and a range of other leisure activities."
