TWO boozy pals who broke into a swimming pool smashed up their legs hurtling down a water slide closed off at the end.

       Gran Claire Vickers, 46, and Barry Douglas, 44, were stuck in the flume for two hours before police found them after reports of “kids messing about”.

       Both suffered broken shins and shattered feet.

       Claire had been in a pub for four hours before meeting Barry at his house for more drinks.

       At 2am, she suggested they try the nearby lido for a quick dip. They crawled under a fence and agreed to try the slide.

       Claire sat down and Barry put his legs round her to slide together. The water was off so Claire splashed some down the chute from the foot bath.

       But as they sped down, they saw a barrier was blocking the exit. Claire’s snapped right shin pierced her skin and every bone in her left foot was broken.

       The former bartender said: “I couldn’t think straight as the pain was excruciating. It was like a scene out of a horror film.

       “I looked over at Barry. He was in the foetal -position and silent. That’s when I thought we were both going to die.”
