The incident occurred at the popular outdoor activity centre on Marchants Hill in Tilford Road, which offers various adventure experiences for children and families.
A Waverley Borough Council Spokesperson said: “We can confirm that, as the Health and Safety Enforcing Authority for this site, the council is undertaking an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident at the PGL activity centre in Marchants Hill.
“Our thoughts remain with the children who were injured, their families and loved ones, and with everyone affected by this distressing incident.
“A full and rigorous investigation is now under way. Our priority is to establish the facts and understand exactly what happened. Given the early stage of the investigation, it would be inappropriate to speculate on the cause of the incident or on any potential findings.
“Updates will be provided when there is information that can responsibly be shared without prejudicing the investigation.”
