“As we were all in a carnival mood my granddaughter took out her cellphone to photograph my daughter as she stepped on a wooden platform on which stood a reclining chair that was being used by clients while their takkies were being cleaned. Unbeknown to us the chair was not bolted onto the wooden base and not secured in any way.“No sooner did she sit on the chair when the chair fell backwards, resulting in the back of her head hitting the pavement, and her body rested on the road surface.
