A shocked holidaymaker was wiped out by a wave machine at the world’s best water park.
Keeley Hayes said she was expecting a huge surge of water, but didn’t plan on dozens of people crashing on top of her.
She was standing in the pool as the wave started sweeping up scores of screaming tourists ahead of her.

Keeley’s face quickly turned to shock as she saw the number of flailing bodies rushing towards her.
She told What’s The Jam: “I was expecting the huge wave.
“But when I saw the number of bodies in the water coming towards me, I did get a bit nervous.”
The 26-year-old, of Tipperary, Ireland, was visiting Siam Park in Tenerife, Spain, when she was wiped out in The Wave Palace.
Siam Park has been voted the world’s best water park by Tripadvisor users for 10 years in a row.

“It’s not the water, it’s the water full of bodies that’s the worry,” added another.
A second said: “When I was there, I got knocked right back to the start.
“By the time I swam back to the deep end to my friends, another big one would come along and I’d be right back at the start again.”
“I’m mortified, my boyfriend wants to go here next year when we go to Tenerife.
“I would love to experience it, but I have a really bad fear of deep water,” remarked Bethany.
Another said: “That was actually terrifying!”
Harriet added: “When I was 10, some old man elbowed me in the wave pool at Siam Park and I got a massive black eye.”
Keeley said she was “very surprised” that the video went viral.
She explained: “I don’t have a huge following and just wanted to upload it for fun.
“I never expected it to reach 1,000 views, never mind 12 million.
“Most of the comments were regarding my freckles, which were so funny.
“I think I got more comments about that than the wave itself!”
