It's lucky kids are so resilient - my daughter broke her arm at about the same age - in one of those padded, supervised indoor playgrounds of all places. She had the cast on for about 6 weeks, and a week after getting it off, broke it again - this time bouncing on her bed! Another 6 weeks or so later, the cast came off, and she has had no significant injury since. She plays the violin, netball, softball, etc, and is now in her final year of school.
I know how distressing it is, but I'm sure she'll be fine. (And I always felt that a child hasn't really had a proper childhood unless they've broken at least one bone - not because I think they NEED to suffer to learn, but you haven't really lived if you've never climbed a tree, rolled down a giant sand dune, skied as fast as you can, ridden a bike over bumps, ... and somewhere, sometime, you're going to have an accident.)
