A British tourist says one of her arteries was severed in a horror accident on an "extreme" water slide with a 72ft, 90-degree drop.

Jade Graves, 29, claims she lost so much blood that she needed a transfusion as she recovered in a hospital in Bulgaria.

The mum said she felt an intense dull pain in her lower pelvic area as she hit the pool at the bottom of the slide and was horrified when she saw blood streaming down her legs.

She claims she became faint and breathless due to "severe blood loss", and spent four days in hospital after undergoing a blood transfusion and surgery to repair the damage.

Ms Graves, from Hull, is now considering legal action against the Aqua Paradise Water Park in Nessebar, Bulgaria – visited by hundreds of Brits every summer – saying she continues to struggle with "significant psychological trauma".

She suffered horrific injuries when she went down the Space Jam slide on July 25 last year.

She claims she followed the lifeguard's safety instructions and crossed her arms and legs.

Ms Graves told Mirror Online: “I still can’t believe what happened to me on that slide.

"I was meant to be having a lovely holiday with my family but the whole experience has been traumatising.

“As I hit the water, I was in a lot of pain and I lost so much blood that I had to get a transfusion.

"It was a complete nightmare and I still get deeply upset about it. 

“I am still uncertain as to what happened exactly, because I followed all the rules put to me by the lifeguard."
