A festive event that turns into an emergency
The end-of-season party on the ski slopes of Reinswald in the Sarentino Valley turned into a drama, with eleven people injured due to excessive alcohol. The event, which traditionally attracts a large number of skiers and partygoers, was attended by around a thousand people, but the joy was overshadowed by a series of accidents related to the abuse of alcohol.
Rapid interventions and on-site assistance
Eight of the eleven injured people suffered minor injuries, while two suffered medium-serious injuries and one person was seriously injured. The prompt intervention of the ambulances and the Aiut Alpin Dolomites helicopter rescue allowed the injured to be quickly transported to the hospital. In addition, the Alpine and underwater rescuers intervened, together with the Carabinieri, who started the investigations to clarify the dynamics of the accident. A first aid tent was set up to manage emergencies on site.
The consequences of alcohol abuse
The party, which was supposed to mark the end of the ski season, highlighted the dangers of alcohol abuse. Several attendees reported feeling unwell, a sign that excessive alcohol consumption has had serious repercussions on the health of revelers. This incident raises questions about the safety and management of public events, especially in settings where alcohol is easily accessible. It is essential that future event organizers consider more rigorous safety measures to prevent similar situations.
