A shocking day for a Blackwood school trip as a 10-year-old boy is recovering in hospital after a scary fall from a zip wire at Dolygaer Outdoor Centre in Merthyr Tydfil. The young adventurer was enjoying a day out with classmates from Libanus Primary School when the accident happened, leaving everyone deeply concerned.
Quick to react, the centre’s staff and a teacher rushed to give first aid, followed by medical support from a mountain rescue professional. The boy was then taken to the Prince Charles Hospital Children’s Unit by paramedics for further care. Thank goodness for fast-acting heroes!
