Six children have been taken to hospital after a massive inflatable slide collapsed at a Wairarapa A&P show.
The collapse occurred on the Mammoth Slide at the Masterton Trust House A & P Show at the Solway Showgrounds in Masterton, around 1pm, site manager Ally O'Neill said.
"It's a big,
blow-up slide that goes quite high in the air. Kids go up there and slide down," he said.
"Police and WorkSafe New Zealand are currently investigating. The Mammoth Slide was immediately closed to the public.
"We are very concerned about the children and until the investigation has been completed we are unable to comment further."
