Schlitterbahn Statement:
Two of our maintenance staff have been taken to area hospitals with injuries. At this point we don’t know the extent of their injuries, we know when they left, both were conscious.
Our first concern was getting both men immediate medical attention and alerting their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and our staff is at each hospital.
Our staff here is very close knit, and our maintenance staff is well trained. This accident has been a shock to everyone. Our next step is to investigate exactly what led to it.
