Sprained my ankle over a deflated hump and landed on the hard surface on the other side in dirty filthy muddy water. Ditto all the above comments. No safety measures. Just A very Short course of half inflated jumping castles with filthy water at times. none as advertised. Hope it won't run again so other people won't get hurt.

Absolutely one of the most disappointing purchases I've ever made.

No water. Numerous dangerous obstacles with limited supervision. Parts of the obstacles (Velcro falling off, making it impossible for participants to climb up). Lack of water (and dirty) in the obstacles, making it highly dangerous to jump or fall from even a small height.

Biggest waste of money, badly run.

Would like a refund. Having the event full of water at 10 is not good enough for us people who done it first thing in the morning. I went around doing u zippers on the inflatable castles as they were not done up. And deflating as people were getting on. It was a joke.

My friend and I were in the 10am wave on Saturday. Very little water if any in the obstacles, very limited staff or non existent, no rope on obstacle so obstacle could not be used.

Poorly organised, few obstacles with water, not enough ground staff to supervise activities, no foam, long wait for some obstacles. Very poor....

It was dangerous and a disgrace. 7 foot drop onto hard ground where there was meant to be water, disgusting. Also young kids doing the event, dangerous as well. I can't believe there was only one broken leg. I will never attend another obsta splash event again

I left with injuries that would have been prevented if there was water/foam and if the obstacles were properly inflated.

I went to obstasplash on Saturday at 10 am and there was only ankle deep water. Received many plastic burns.

My sister and I arrived at 0810 and began the course, we found that there were hardly any volunteers on the course to direct or guide, there was no water or foam. We both came away from the course with friction burns. There was no swing on the "ObstaSwing", there was no swimming in the trench as was advertised (really glad we made friends with another couple so that the four of us could make it through! And Obstacles that have no water in them, just plastic on the ground are very hard when you fall/slip down a wall, again not safe. We watched other people come off the first obstacle and hurt their tailbones and their backs, there should have been more mats or something for those who fly off the end and there should be actual staff to monitor and care for patrons. We paid a lot of money and came away extremely disappointed with our experience.

They should of called it Obstadrought, There were obstacles that were done back to front due to know water making it dangerous and extremely harder than it should have been. Worst organised event I have been to. Skin burns were so common even broken bones due to lack of water. Big thumbs done for this one

What a load of crap! Hardly any water. I'm cover in friction burns. All of the course markers were gone. We got stuck in the trench thing when the Velcro kept coming off and we couldn't climb out. Such a waste of money. No sight of dance stations at all. Pretty sure that's false advertising.

Utter disgrace. We went in the 12pm wave on the Saturday. No attendants at the front gate. No attendants on the majority of the obstacles. I watched as one of the volunteers climbed the last slide with a bucket of water and proceeded to dribble it with the most minute amount of water -did NOT help the friction burns on the way down. Absolute disgrace and Dan Palmer should be ashamed. If you're in Melbourne or Adelaide - DO NOT GO TO THIS EVENT.

I'm very, very surprised not more people were injured and I want to thank the volunteers for having to cop so much abuse on the day, we know it's not your fault but you can understand our concerns when there were so few and all except the one guy who smelled like bourbon were clearly very unhappy.
