Student Cuts Face During Mirror Maze Adventure
During a sunny afternoon at Canopy Park inside Jewel Changi Airport, a 14‑year‑old girl’s playful expedition turned into a minor medical drama. While weaving through riffling mirrors, she slipped and landed face‑first on a sharp edge—soon enough to require nine stitches.
Quick‑Response Team on Duty
- At about 5:15 pm Wednesday (June 19), an attraction ranger performed immediate first aid.
- Once the teen spotted the wound—thanks to a fellow maze‑adventurer’s sharp eye—her mother promptly intervened.
- The girl’s aunt, Ms Susan Goh, posted a photo on Facebook to “warn folks” about potential hazards.
From Maze Mishap to Medical Stop‑over
Ms Goh, a property agent, explained that the teen was playing with five other kids. When one of them pointed out the cut, the girl attempted to clean it with a tissue. Her mother, recognizing the depth of the injury, said, “No tissues for a deep scar.”
Stitches & Scare
- Attraction staff transported the teen to a Terminal 3 clinic.
- Because the wound ran deep and was on the face, the doctor referred her to a nearby hospital.
- There she received nine stitches—“pretty quick” from the doctor’s side, but “likely to scar” according to Ms Goh.
Ms Goh, reassured, noted the injury was “not life‑threatening,” and urged parents to maintain vigilant supervision at such attractions.
Jewel’s Apology &Safety Assurance
A spokesperson expressed deep regret for the guest’s experience and wished her a smooth recovery. They also reminded visitors to remain mindful of safety while enjoying the fun.
Background on Canopy Park
Canopy Park first opened to the public on June 10. Visitors recall a prior incident on June 14—a woman tripped over sky nets—yet the park still carries a certified safety record after numerous tests.
Takeaway
It turns out that a mirror maze can be a bit more than just a fun illusion—it might also hide a sharp surprise. Keep a keen eye out, especially if your kiddo is forced to do the “mirror‑maze selfie” after an accidental face‑first cut.
