Posting earlier this year, she revealed she was back on her ‘blade’ prosthetic after six months off due to ongoing hip pain. 

In March, Leah shared a photo of the day she was fitted with her first prosthetic after having it amputated almost six years ago. 

In the images, Leah is still wearing thick bandages around her legs and torso and her limbs are bruised.

She wrote: ‘Throughout my time as a amputee I’ve been cast numerous time due to shrinkage, weight loss or gain and revision surgery.

‘They basically take a cast of your stump (little leg as I like to call it) and create a socket from that cast, the socket is how they connect your stump to the prosthetic leg.

‘They make a clear “check” socket so they can see how your stump is sitting in the socket. This way they can make adjustments by melting and reshaping the socket before creating the finished product.

 ‘This is done as and when required and usually takes around 20 minutes to do. So yeah just a little insight I thought I’d share on the process of sockets & prosthetics as it’s not a one size fits all kinda thing.’

What happened during the Alton Towers Smiler crash?

On June 2, 2015, visitors were removed from the Alton Towers Smiler ride after a warning light indicated a fault.

Staff sent a test train around the track, but it didn’t make it around. Due to a breakdown in communication, staff did not realise this carrigage was still sitting on the track.

Passengers were let back on but as the first carriage made its way around, the computer system stopped it because it showed something was blocking the track.

Engineers were still not aware that there was a fifth carriage sitting on the track and overrode a fault which had been detected by the computer system, sending the ride crashing into an empty carriage with the force of a ’90mph car crash’.

At least 16 were injured and five people were seriously hurt. 

Leah Washington from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and Vicky Balch from Leyland, Lancashire, were both forced to undergo leg amputations as a result of the horror crash.

The Smiler at Alton Park, where 16 people were injured in a 2015 collision (file picture). An investigation found that a computer block stopping the ride because of a stationary car on the track had been over-ridden by staff, causing the crash

Joe Pugh, also from Barnsley, and Daniel Thorpe, 28, from Buxton, Derbyshire, also suffered serious leg injuries, along with 49-year-old Chandaben Chauhan.

The trapped ride-goers had to wait more than four hours to be freed from the crumpled carriage while rescue workers battled to reach them as they sat 25ft up in the air at an angle of about 45 degrees, pinned in by the mangled metal.
