A nine year old girl died at Hershey Park earlier this week while in the wave pool. Authorities stated that the girl was in distress and one of the ten lifeguards watching over the wave pool pulled her out. A witness that saw the lifeguard take her from the wave pool said the girl was limp at the time of her removal. She was pronounced DOA at the Hershey Medical Center.
The pool has since been closed pending further investigation. Whether it will reopen or not is unknown at this time. I have been knocked over myself while in a wave pool. Since that time, I try to glance at the smaller children to make sure they are safe, if I don't see a parent or another adult near them.
I am sure the parents are devastated. May God be with them.
