A tourist has said a fall at a Hong Kong trampoline park left her needing to have a kidney removed, with a lawmaker urging authorities to launch an investigation into the incident and regulate such venues.

The woman, a mother of two who only identified herself as Lee, said on Tuesday that her right kidney was “shattered” and her life “was at stake” after she fell and struck the edge of a foam pool while visiting Ryze Ultimate Trampoline Park on June 7 of last year.
She accused the operator of the venue in Quarry Bay of failing to install sufficient protective padding and neglecting customer safety.
Lee, who is in her forties and asked not to disclose her country of origin, said she visited the park with her family on the second day of their trip to the city.
She said she and one of her daughters, who was six at the time, were playing in the park’s “Ninja Obstacle Course” when Lee tried to cross a hanging bridge.
