When a Baseball Becomes a Face‑Puncher: The SuperPark Saga
Serene Tan thought she was about to have the time of her life at SuperPark Singapore. She’d signed the liability waiver before the fun started, not after, but fate and a missed safety check turned her day into a hospital visit.
The All‑Excitement
- SuperPark opened on Nov 17 and promised a massive indoor playground for all ages.
- Serene’s “first‑time” baseball station was the highlight of her visit.
- She posted a photo on Facebook, getting almost 300,000 views on her shocking video.
OMG, That’s Where It Gets Messy
In a not‑so‑grim recap, Serene described how the ball ricocheted off a pole straight into her face. “The pole was on the side of the soft net, no full‑face mask involved,” she said. The impact left her with a depressed nasal fracture and required hospitalization.
Community Reaction: Safety? SuperPark, Update Please!
- Posts started trending almost instantly, with comments demanding safer facilities.
- Netizens like PH PH Lim pointed out that the baseball layout was “questionable” and could have caused a freak accident.
- Insurance saved the day – Serene’s medical expenses were capped at $30,000 thanks to her plan.
SuperPark’s Take‑away
Mark Kumarasinhe, CEO of SuperPark, reached out to Serene after the incident and said:
“Even though we hold the highest safety standard for every SuperPark site we operate in, any injury causes us great concern. We will take a serious review with a goal of improving our safety standards to further enhance our procedures if necessary.”
Serene, now debating who’s to blame, decided to chalk it up to bad luck. She had signed the waiver before using the facilities, so her statement is that the incident happened “just because she was unlucky.”
Takeaway
All in all, this highlights the importance of having proper safety measures in place – especially when a baseball is involved. We hope SuperPark learns from this misstep and that future visitors can truly enjoy the ride (and the baseball station) without any face‑punching surprises.
