A water basin at Europa Park, Germany, has developed a crack
According to the park spokesperson, a mobile water basin cracked during the “High-Diving Show ‘Retorno dos Piratas’,” resulting in water flowing into the “Atlantica SuperSplash” attraction lake.
There were elevated platforms reaching up to 25 meters installed over the water basin, from which the acrobats were performing jumps. Due to the instability caused by the water basin’s loss of stability following the water release, the structures mounted on it collapsed.
