A group of school children fell down from about a 5-meter high structure during a field trip on Wednesday in the western Canadian city of Winnipeg but avoided serious injuries in an incident that officials said could have been much worse.
Children from Winnipeg's St. John's-Ravenscourt School were visiting the historic Fort Gibraltar when the fall happened, sending 16 children and an adult to hospital.
One patient was being kept in hospital for observation, while the rest either had been or will be discharged today, Gripp said. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service official Michelle Bessas said at the briefing the children fell from a structure at Whittier Park, where the fort is located, but the reason for the fall was not yet clear.
