Postmedia has been unable to confirm reports by Cultus Lake area media that the incident involved electrical burns. Article content

However, B.C. Hydro told Postmedia that one of its crews was sent to the water park and found that “the electrical issue originated on the customer’s side of the electrical service” and not within B.C. Hydro’s infrastructure or equipment.

It sounds like it happened to all the kids standing in line at the same time, like something suddenly completed the electrical circuit and caused the accident. A few of the kids received a shock strong enough that they could not let go of the railing, and had to be airlifted to BC Children's.
