Simbithi Eco Estate resident Pamela White writes:
I recently read the article and several letters in the Courier regarding people’s safety on the Promenade (boardwalk).
At the end of July I was running on the boardwalk, tripped and went headfirst under the balustrade railings and fell approximately three metres onto the beach below.
I landed on my shoulder and head and had to be taken to hospital by a Ballito resident who saw the fall.
Since the accident I have had limited use of my right arm and am still in pain. The costs of the services of a physiotherapist and a biokineticist are mounting.
The gap between the boardwalk surface and the first horizontal rail is so wide that it cannot prevent an adult from going under it. I can only imagine the increased risk to children who use the walkway.
Something must be done about this issue.
