Emergency doctor helicopter in action: festival visitor seriously injured!
On June 13, 2025, a serious incident occurred at the Nova Rock Festival in Nickelsdorf, Burgenland. A young woman from Upper Austria suffered a spinal injury during a concert after accidentally colliding with another festival guest. The ÖAMTC air rescue emergency helicopter Christophorus 18 was called into action for the rescue operation, as reported by 5min.at.
After initial medical care from the Red Cross, the patient was taken to the helipad at the Nickelsdorf sports field. From there he was transported to the accident department of a hospital in Eisenstadt. This quick response highlights the need for a professional medical service at large events, which is considered essential in the planning by the Red Cross experts.
Further incidents and medical attention
There were also other incidents during the festival in which several people had to be taken to hospitals due to nausea and vomiting. The medical treatment was carried out by the Red Cross both in the festival's medical tent and in the surrounding hospitals, as noen.at reports.
Planning medical emergency services at events is a central task for the Red Cross. In collaboration with organizers, police and other emergency organizations, we ensure that there is sufficient medical help on site. These measures also include compliance with legal requirements and early contact with the relevant authorities, a practice recommended by the Red Cross experts in order to ensure optimal conditions for the safety of guests, as roteskreuz.at explains.
