The Canopy Park in Jewel Changi Airport opened on June 10, 2019, offering a variety of fun attractions.

However, one should definitely take note of safety while trying them out.

An alleged accident on Manulife Sky Nets - Walking

A visitor, June Neo, shared her experience on Facebook on June 15 to warn other visitors to be careful while walking on one of the Manulife Sky Nets, which are suspended across a five-storey high void.

Here's an image of the attraction:

Neo claimed that she fell on the nets as her foot was stuck in the gap between the ropes.

She landed on the ropes which supposedly cut her hand as well as causing slight abrasions and bruises on her limbs.

In a video shared by Neo, also on Facebook, her finger appeared to have bled profusely from the deep cut.

Fortunately, she was wearing long pants which protected her legs from any further injuries.

Therefore, Neo recommended that visitors wear long pants for this activity at the Canopy Park.

Neo also thanked a first aider at Jewel Changi Airport for providing prompt help.
