A scout leader who fractured his spine on a cross-country assault course has won £167,500 damages.
Robert Wilson, 49, of Bordon, Hampshire, fell on his bottom after sliding down a firefighter's pole on an obstacle during a week's camp at the Clyne Farm Centre, near Swansea, in 2009.
He suffered great pain from the injury to his first lumbar vertebra which needed surgery and left him in a spinal brace for six months. The discomfort affected his work as a taxi driver.
