UK: Young mother paralysed in pole-dancing accident
16th September 2010
Now fears have been raised over the safety of the activity, after a mother-of-two was left paralysed following an accident during a pole-dancing class.
Debbie Plowman, 32, suffered devastating injuries when she fell, breaking her neck and severely damaging her spinal cord.
She was left paralysed from the chest down and remains on a ventilator to enable her to breathe. She can communicate only through a computer that tracks her eye movements.
The obvious question, of course, is why a mother-of-two was pole dancing.
She’s not eligible for a Darwin Award because she’s already reproduced.
