Singapore – A visitor to the newly opened Canopy Park at Jewel Changi Airport visited the new attraction to enjoy but unfortunately went home with an injured hand due to the tough ropes at Sky Net.

Netizen June Neo went to Facebook on June 15 to share her alarming experience at the Manulife Sky Nets located at the topmost level of Jewel Changi Airport.

The attraction, which hangs on across a five-storey high altitude are made with intertwined thick ropes so that visitors can traverse the area.

However, according to Ms June, the ropes are tough, and the holes are “big enough for [an] adult’s foot to go through [and get] stuck in there.”

“I fell as my foot stuck, and my hand had a big cut. I am lucky that I am wearing pants if not, my legs will end up like my hand. So only slight abrasion to my legs and also bruises on my arm. Even sitting down or lying down on the ropes is also painful,” shared Ms June.

She also thanked the first aid attendant that responded to her emergency.
