Leisure Sunday turns into a nightmare.

They are 35 and three and a half years old.

Two rescue and victim assistance vehicles (VSAV), a nurse, a group leader, a column leader as well as two helicopters, from civil security and Smur, were indeed dispatched to the scene.
Carried over more than 50 m
According France Bluethe large inflatable structure, measuring 20 m long and wide, took the two people who were inside for more than 50 m.
Called Wonderland Waterpark, the establishment opened this summer according to its website and is located on the edge of this small Var town, located about forty kilometers from Aix-en-Provence.
The Var was on Sunday on red alert for forest fires due to the resumption of the wind. According to Météo France, it was blowing at around 55 km / h in this western part of the Var. The prefect of the department has therefore closed most of the massifs and prohibited navigation in the Gorges du Verdon.
