A Health and Safety Executive investigation into the cause of the accident has begun. The log flume was closed and sealed off by Police tape.
It is reported the funfair had previously been asked by Bridlington Town Council to be moved to a more suitable place.
Park owner Michael Harrison, said his first thoughts were about those who had been injured and he hoped they made a speedy recovery. “There is a police and Health and Safety Executive investigation as to how the accident occurred. There is not much more I can say at the present time other than I am as anxious as everyone else to know what caused it,” said Mr Harrison. He praised the work of the emergency services who dealt with the injured grandmother and her granddaughter. “I also want to thank staff who did everything they could to help. “We have a very good safety record on site. Nothing as serious as this has ever happened to us before. “The industry is very strictly regulated. Safety checks are made at least once a year by independent engineers and by ourselves on a daily basis,” said Mr Harrison. He was highly critical of some of the claims and allegations made elsewhere in both the press and on internet websites about what happened. “They are simply not true, just people being downright evil,” he said.
