As many as 44 people were injured in the accident - three remain hospitalised with broken bones and serious abrasions, reports The Sun.

According to South China Morning Post, statement by the Longjing city government said: “According to the initial stages of the investigation, the incident was caused by a power cut that damaged electronic equipment in the tsunami pool control room, which led to the waves in the tsunami pool becoming too big and injuring people,”

The pool was reportedly closed down for repairs as investigations continue.
