Sharjah - Al Montazah management urges families and parents to remain cautious and constantly monitor their children with care.

Al Montazah Amusement and Water Park has issued a statement urging all families and visitors to remain cautious and to always monitor their children to avoid any serious accidents such as drowning.
The statement came after the drowning incident of a 3 year old boy from Oman. After taking off his safety jacket provided by Al Montazah and getting ready to leave the park with his family, the boy managed to run away and slipped into one of the lazy river's sides.
According to reports, the child was transferred to Al Qasimi Hospital and is now unconscious due to the fall and the drop of oxygen level in the brain, however the medical team ensured that the heart beats and the breathing rate are at a stable condition.
The medical team of the National Ambulance and Al Qasimi Hospital praised the immediate action that was taken by the trained rescue team and the first aid members at Al Montazah after the incident.
The necessary steps that were taken helped prevent a deterioration in the child's situation, due to the skilled and professional measures taken.  
"We pray that the child completes a full recovery from this unfortunate incident. The safety and comfort of our visitors are of our top priority" said Khalid Al Qaseer, Manager of Al Montazah Amusement and Water Park.
"We have dedicated our efforts by allocating multiple security members and life guards to ensure the safety and protection of all visitors and their family members. Similarly, it's important that families also play a key role in remaining cautious and constantly keeping an eye on their children to avoid any such cases. For this reason we do not allow children under the age of 12 to enter the waterpark without being accompanied by their parents or a guardian," Al Qaseer added
"We are in direct contact with the boy's family and the hospital to ensure receiving the required medication and treatment needed, and to fulfil any needs of the family who came from Oman to visit the country," said the manager.
