Four people were injured at a water park in New Jersey’s American Dream mall on Sunday after a decorative helicopter structure fell from the ceiling and landed in a pool below, officials said.
Troopers responded to the DreamWorks Water Park in East Rutherford just after 3 p.m. for reports of visitors “injured by a decorative prop that had fallen from the ceiling,” the New Jersey State Police said in a statement.
The decorative helicopter had been suspended from the ceiling and was believed to have somehow detached before falling into the pool, state police said.
At least four people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, they said. One person was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, state police added, while the other three were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The American Dream mall said in a statement that it was conducting a “thorough investigation into this incident to ensure the park meets all safety regulations as required.”
“The safety of our guests is our highest priority,” it said.
The mall said it could not provide further information due to patient privacy.
