Louis Watkiss, 12, died at the SnowDome in Tamworth, Staffordshire, on September 24 2021 when he slid into a member of staff who fell onto him, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said.
SnowDome Limited, of Leisure Island, River Drive, Tamworth, Staffordshire, pleaded guilty at Telford Magistrates’ Court to breaching the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, the HSE said.
Nathan Cook, senior enforcement lawyer for HSE said: “Louis went to a friend’s birthday party at the SnowDome and should have returned home safely to his family after an enjoyable occasion.
The watchdog said Louis was descending the main ski slope on a toboggan when it slid into the back of a member of staff who was conducting a slope walk.
The staff member fell backwards onto Louis, who died at the scene from his injuries, the HSE said.
