My daughters visited Waingaro Hot Springs on the 2nd of January 2012 with her sister & friends. Within 15 minutes of being there they went down the hydroslide for the 1st time. My daughters foot got caught, she felt a sharp pain, the water pushed her down the slide. When she got out her leg & foot were extremely sore, she went to sit down as she felt dizzy. Her fot & leg started bleeding. A lady got out the first aid kit and it had unsealed dirty bandages and a couple of bandaids. There was nothing in there that they could help my daughter with her injuries not even distilled water. She was taken to the hospital by a friend and required 13 stitches around her big toe and has a laceration and is severely bruised on her shin.
I would not reccomend going there, the other 2 girls were also injured but not so severely. I hope that they will upgrade there first aid kit and warn people the correct way to go down the slide.
