accident at Kirchweih: Man dies when attempted to rescue a carousel

A tragic accident occurred at a church consecration in Fürth, in which a 31-year-old man was fatally injured. The incident in the evening in the Hardhöhe district caused dismay and raises questions about the safety of rides.

During a drive on the carousel, a passenger lost his shoe, which prompted the young man to climb the rotating chassis during operation to bring the shoe back. Unfortunately, it was recorded by the carousel and trapped between the ground and chassis, which led to life -threatening injuries.

First aiders were able to free the man and reanimate on site, but he succumbed to his serious injuries a little later in the hospital. An investigation into suspected negligent killing was initiated against the operator of the driving business.

Security at folk festivals: Risks in dealing with rides

This tragic incident throws a light on the potential dangers that can lurk at folk festivals and church consecration. Despite many security measures and controls, there is always a certain residual risk, especially if passengers act independently and develop unforeseen situations.

It is important that operators of rides and organizers ensure that clear security rules are observed and visitors are informed about the risks. This is the only way to ensure that all participants can enjoy such events safely and without prejudice.

Our thoughts are among the relatives of the deceased in this difficult time and we hope that this accident leads to the fact that security at such events is even more focused on.
