Emma Tolmie broke her foot while walking on a disability access mat at a North Shore’s Takapuna beach. “I was screaming and crying because I was in so much excruciating pain. Tolmie spent nine days in hospital, where she underwent surgery to repair her foot. She is now back at home but will need crutches to walk for three months. That mat put me in hospital and has made me disabled. It is not made well enough, and should be designed better before it is used,” she said.
