Woman breaks her leg while going down a slide at Changi Airport, Singapore – News

She wanted to try the popular ride but ended up breaking her leg after going down the subway slide at Changi Airport Terminal 4.

The incident happened on Monday (November 4) evening, shortly before the 23-year-old finance executive was due to fly home.

A Malaysian woman, who wishes to be known only as Z, uploaded a video documenting the incident to Xiaohongshu.

Speaking to AsiaOne on Wednesday, Z said she was traveling home with her friends after a three-day holiday in Singapore. Arriving at the airport early, they decided to kill time on the metro slide before their 8:55 p.m. flight.

In her video, she described her “really fun” experience on the slide, although she was wary of the dangerous turns. She noted that she encountered significant friction while descending the hill at high speed.

Despite this, she decided to go down the slide again. That’s when she heard her bones crack.

Z said she screamed for help when she reached the end of the slide, but “there was no staff nearby.”

She said it took airport staff 15 minutes to bring the wheelchair after her friends went to get help. It took another 15 minutes before they arrived with ice, and then another 15 minutes before the doctor arrived with painkillers.

She did not reach Changi General Hospital until around 9.30pm, an hour after the incident.

The doctor told Z that two bones in her foot were broken, adding that this was not the first time someone had been injured after going down the slide at Changi Airport.

Medical expenses approximately $12,000.

The woman said she had to take painkillers and get a painkiller injection.

Z told AsiaOne that she has since returned home and consulted her doctor in Malaysia. She is scheduled for surgery on Thursday at an estimated cost of RM40,000 (S$12,000).

“(Changi Airport staff) did not write down my contact number so that they would have no way of contacting me or being held responsible for my incident,” she said.

“When the incident happened, the Changi Airport staff in front of the ambulance advised me to book my own flight after I recovered.”

Z added that she submitted her review via the Changi Airport website on Wednesday and was awaiting a response after providing her flight details.

By sharing her experience, she hopes it will serve as a warning to others visiting Changi Airport and hopes that no one else suffers similar injuries.

AsiaOne has contacted Changi Airport Group for further information.
