Zaybein Wathey (number 15) says he is going to miss his rugby team

Zaybein Wathey (number 15) says he is going to miss his rugby team

The boy who fractured his head in two places after an accident at Napier's Inflatable World has been discharged from Starship Hospital.

Zaybein Wathey, 10, told 3News last night he still cannot remember much about that fateful day on July 7, but can safely say he will never jump on another bouncy castle.

"I remember jumping from one part to another and I must have slipped and dived on to the concrete," Zaybein said.

His stepfather, Paul Marjoribanks, said Zaybein was doing "fantastically well" after only managing to stay awake for a couple of minutes at a time last week.

"Inflatable World sounded safe as. I didn't expect a couple of fractures in the head from a bouncy castle," he said.

Zaybein is still suffering from violent headaches and fatigue.

He has been told to take the next few months off school and sport.

"It's going to be very hard, I'm going to miss my rugby team," Zaybein said.
