So as the person that this actually happened to I will answer any questions. It was a mix of exhaustion and the wave pool action. I passed out and smacked my face on the pool. There was no resuscitation I was awake a few minutes later. Except for some concussion symptoms, and lots of scrapes from being dragged from the pool I’m fine. On a separate note I was told that I would be remembursed for my day at the park does anyone know who I’d contact since it’s been a week and nothing has been done.
