According to the police, at least five people were injured in an accident with a chain carousel at the Bayreuth spring festival. Three of them had suffered moderate, two minor injuries, said a police spokesman. There were four minors and an adult among those affected. Previously, the police had spoken of six injuries. Gondolas bouncing off when lowering against the dungey after the dungeon, the ride was filled with several people early Monday evening and in the company. The gondolas would have turned too quickly when lowering. Due to the larger radius, they then crashed into several surrounding rods of lamps and advertising displays. According to initial findings, a technical defect ensured that the gondolas had not slowed down their speed. A rescue worker was at the scene of the accident at the Volksfestplatz, it continued. The spring festival continued after the accident. Only the area around the chain carousel was cordoned off. The Red Cross set up a childcare center for possible further injuries. Witnesses are asked to report to the police. An expert was consulted for the investigation. Driving transactions are usually subjected to a precise examination by external experts before the start of folk festivals. Nevertheless, accidents occasionally occur, which usually end lightly. At the Oktoberfest 2023, some people were slightly injured in the collision of two roller coaster wagons. The incident assumed lightly: those affected were cared for on an outpatient basis. In a family roller coaster, a wagon was rolled at the other at a low pace. Spokeswoman for the Oktoberfest showman: If you do not let you cold “Even if accidents go out lightly, it is something that doesn’t leave you cold,” said the spokeswoman for the Oktoberfest showman, Yvonne Heckl, on Monday evening. There are fixed rules and time specifications to check the rides. In addition, a use of use is carried out before the start of a folk festival, usually by the local building department and at the Oktoberfest through the TÜV. A fatal accident was in the amusement park in Cochem in Rhineland-Palatinate. There a 57-year-old died from a moving roller coaster when falling. According to a TÜV report, the roller coaster was in order at the time of the accident.
