AN outdoor adventure centre near Cleobury Mortimer has admitted being in breach of health and safety regulations after a woman fell from high ropes two years ago.
Sunniva Lynklater-Jones suffered an injury to her foot in the fall which happened in June two years ago.
At a recent hearing at Shrewsbury Crown Court managers of Live the Adventure Ltd pleaded guilty to a charge relating to failing to ensure that a person, not employed by the company, was not exposed to risk.
A charge that the company, based at The Old Vicarage Centre in Stottesdon, had failed to carry out a risk assessment was withdrawn by the prosecution.
Sentence in the case - brought by Shropshire Council’s health and community protection department - has been adjourned until October 9.
Live the Adventure Ltd was originally established in 1984 as the Old Vicarage Adventure Centre and has welcomed more than 500,000 people over the past 30 years
In a statement after the hearing the company said it had admitted a single matter of not appointing a technical advisor to its rope course.
The company regretted the incident and pointed out that the centre had an excellent safety record.
Live The Adventure works with groups from all over the world, including schoolchildren, adults of all ages and abilities, and is also a training provider for many outdoor governing bodies in the UK and abroad.
