If you’ve picked up the Northamptonshire Telegraph recently you may be aware of the skate park incident in Corby. It caused the entire park to be closed down for a few days but we only know a little about the incident at the moment. The skate park had been holding an ‘All Nighter’ event from 10pm on December 29 (Thursday) to 8am the following morning at the time of the incident, and we can only guess that a rider was badly injured. He or she has not been named and nothing has been revealed to the local press as yet, but why would an accident cause a rider to entire park to shutdown? It’s a weird one really but I’m sure we will find out more in the coming weeks. Hopefully it was a small incident that has been blown out of proportion, but locals are demanding answers as to why it was shut down with people fearing it was due to the poor quality of the equipment.
