A 10-year-old girl was left needing 12 stitches after slicing her leg on a park health and safety sign.
Skylah Williams was riding the zip wire while visiting the park in the village of Stithians with her family when she hurtled straight into the warning sign.
The sign advised children under 11 should not use the equipment without parental supervision, Cornwall Live reports.
Dad Jamie Williams rushed Skylah to hospital on Sunday night after the sign "guillotined" through his daughter's thigh, according to the 10-year-old girl.
Jamie is urging others to be mindful of the dangers with the hope of preventing another child being injured.
He said: “We live in Perranporth but went to Stithians as it is a nice park aside from what happened.
“All the kids were playing nicely and my daughter went down the zip line.
“The sign is in the wrong place, Skylah hit it and went over. The sign guillotined her leg.
“It was a big wound for a little girl. She is all stitched up now but needed 12 stitches and is on antibiotics. It was a very deep cut.
"She’s a resilient girl but this was a big deal for her. It shook her right up and she let out a big scream.
“After it happened we spoke to other people in the park and they said it’s not the first time it’s happened on the zip wire. They need to replace the sign or move it to a more appropriate place.”
Stithians Parish Council, responsible for the park, has been approached the comment.
