Austrian seriously injured: Pentecost party in Lignano escalated!

Lignano, Italien - on the Pentecost weekend there was a serious incident in Lignano that attracted public attention. A minor Austrian who lived with her family in a accommodation company in Bibione climbed the roof of a garage area at a hotel on Sunday evening to take photos. During this adventure, the plastic roof collapsed under their weight and the young people fell about three meters. She suffered serious injuries, but is not in mortal danger. It is believed that at the time of the accident, it was alcoholic, which influences the police's investigation into the cause of the accident, since it is also checked whether entering the area was prohibited. These and other incidents throw a light on the dangers that are associated with excessive celebrations during the "Tutto Gas" event, which moved tens of thousands of people, including around 20,000 Austrians, to enjoy the long weekend.

The celebrations were shaped by a high demand for accommodations, many accommodations were fully booked. Despite the presence of security and rescue workers, there were numerous incidents, including alcohol poisoning, wrangling and other attacks. It is particularly worrying that six people had to be hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning and that a further 15 were treated in the emergency room due to other health problems. The police and private security forces were on site to control the Situation, but found garbage and rubbish in the city and described a chaotic scenery in which some young people slept in front of houses or on the street.

excessive celebrations and security concerns

The celebrations lasted until the early hours of the morning, even after the bars closed at 2 a.m. The streets became a party location, where music and alcohol consumption were continued unchecked. Mayor Laura Giorgi was concerned about the increasing problems in Lignano, who, according to her statement, has increased in the past ten years. She emphasized the need for close cooperation between the community, the security forces and the health services to get the situation under control.

An alarming number of incidents also took place outside the celebrations that led to clarifying the situation by the police. There were several ads that included resistance to state power and raids. With all these problems, the connection between the excessive alcohol consumption and the behavior of many young people in Lignano becomes clear. An investigation into the weekly alcohol intake of young people in Germany shows that consumption is widespread and that younger age groups in particular are at risk of getting into dangerous situations.

FAZIT

The Whitsun weekend in Lignano has once again shown how challenging it is to control the celebrators and to ensure public security. Despite the security measures, the risk of alcohol abuse and the associated risks for health and security remains high. The tragedy of the accident that the underage Austrian suffered could serve as a warning for everyone who wants to get involved in similar adventures.
