“According to the initial stages of the investigation, the incident was caused by a power cut that damaged electronic equipment in the pool control room, which led to the waves in the pool becoming too big and injuring people,” the South China Morning Post stated.
Chinese officials reported that 44 people were injured, with broken ribs and fractured legs being among the most common injuries.
