MUSCAT: Ali, who was just 10 years old at the time of the incident on September 12, 2019, succumbed to his injuries after a prolonged battle.

It may be recalled that Ali was playing on a climbing game at the Bounce Oman, an indoor adventure park in Muscat, when the tragic accident occurred. While climbing, a rope securing him became loose, causing him to fall approximately 8 meters onto his head.

Emergency services quickly transported him to Khoula Hospital, where it was discovered that he had suffered severe injuries, including a skull fracture, internal bleeding, and fractures in his jaw, nose, and shoulder.

Despite undergoing surgery and spending years on a ventilator in intensive care, Ali remained in a coma until his passing.

In the wake of the incident, the case underwent judicial scrutiny. As per local reports, the court convicted an employee of Bounce Oman, sentencing her to six months in prison with part of the term suspended. Additionally, Bounce Oman Company was fined RO 500 and had its branch in the Sultanate shut down for a year.

The facility, which opened on June 26, 2019, featured a trampoline hall and various adventure tracks. It was closed following the court’s ruling.

Following the incident in September 2019, The Arabian Stories had reported that the boy’s condition is critical, quoting officials, who stated: “The condition of the child is said to be critical. He is in intensive care. Doctors are expected to decide on a possible surgery after 48 hours.”
