Children were injured when a bell fell at a beer festival

Two children were taken to the emergency department after a toy fell during the Reykholt Festival in Reykholt yesterday. Police confirmed the incident, stating the children had minor injuries but none were serious. Their parents accompanied them to the hospital. The incident occurred around 15:30 yesterday when police arrived at the scene. Ingi Þór Jónsson, who oversees the festival's organization, stated that the toy, which includes a ball that children sit in, was fully set up. He explained that the toy collapsed due to a broken 'split' part, causing it to fall. One child slipped into a metal pole holding the ball.
