A British Columbia waterpark has reopened its water slides following an incident in which 12 children were seriously injured by an electrical shock on June 15. The children reportedly touched a metal rail at the park, leading to the injuries. The facility temporarily closed for safety inspections and repairs.
Authorities confirmed the incident occurred during regular operating hours. Emergency services were called to the scene, and all affected children were treated at local hospitals. No fatalities were reported. The park has since implemented additional safety measures to prevent similar incidents.
The incident has sparked concerns about electrical safety in public facilities. A spokesperson for the waterpark stated that investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the electrical fault. Regulatory bodies are also reviewing the case to ensure compliance with safety standards.
The reopening marks a significant step for the park, which had been closed for several days. Visitors are advised to remain vigilant and follow all safety guidelines. (torontosun.com)
