Farmer falls down drain at safety demo

A farmer is recovering after falling down an open drain and injuring her ankle at a health and safety demonstration.

Tania Foster, 45, damaged her Achilles tendon when she stumbled down the hole at the event organised by the Health and Safety Executive.

The mother-of-two, from Capenhurst, Cheshire, said: "It would be funny if it wasn't so painful."

A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive said a risk assessment of the hole had been carried out but it was not deemed a serious risk.
