(KSL News) A family took wave runners to Pineview Reservoir this afternoon, but one of the watercraft exploded.
Officials say the machine was having problems earlier in the day and was beached at the time.
Four children were playing on it when it exploded. Witnesses say the children were blown at least 10 feet in the air. Two of them landed on another beached wave runner; the others landed in the water.
No one was seriously injured.
