A school play being performed in a village hall in Leicestershire was cut short after the audience of parents clapped too loudly. The Sun reported that 'The Jungle Book' had to be halted when applause triggered a noise-limiter which cut the power in the village of Waltham-on-the-Wolds. Safety guidelines for children using trampolines are being ignored, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents warned, after a new study reported in The Guardian found that four out of ten children injured when trampolining are so badly hurt that they require hospital operations.
