A young woman of about 35 years old, a resident of DéniaHe lost his life this weekend after suffering a very serious accident while sailing with a group of friends in the waters of XàbiaThe incident has left the city's residents dismayed.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon. The group of friends was aboard a pleasure boat they had rented in Dénia to spend the day at sea. For reasons that are still being investigated, the boat ran over the victim while he was in the water. The impact of the propeller caused an extremely serious injury to his thigh, resulting in severe and rapid blood loss.
Emergency mobilization at the port of Xàbia
Her companions quickly brought her aboard and took her ashore so she could receive medical assistance. The vessel arrived at the public slipway of the port of Xàbia The young woman was still alive. Emergency services, having been alerted beforehand, were already waiting there. Red Cross personnel and medical staff immediately began first aid maneuvers to try to stop the bleeding and stabilize her vital signs.
A few minutes later, a SAMU medical team joined the operation. Local police patrols from Xàbia and fire crews also arrived to assist at the scene. Unfortunately, despite the desperate efforts of the medical professionals to resuscitate her, the severity of her injuries made it impossible to save her life.
The Civil Guard clarifies the causes
The excursion at sea had begun in the morning, when the vessel set sail from the port of DéniaThe fatal accident occurred in the middle of the bay, a popular spot for nautical tourism during the summer months. The victim was using an inflatable ring attached to the boat. After falling into the water, the skipper turned the boat around and went to retrieve her. It was during this approach that the fatal accident occurred.
Now the Civil Guard has taken charge of the proceedings in the case.
The incident involving the mountain goat in Dénia demonstrates a worrying lack of professional training in the Local Police's operational protocols. Instead of conveying a sense of calm and protection to the public, these types of interventions generate fear and insecurity. If the response to a disoriented animal ends up being its killing, it is legitimate to question what kind of decisions can be made when dealing with people. It is the City Council's responsibility to ensure that the Local Police receive up-to-date, ethical, and respectful training, so that their actions are always at the service of the public and the general interest.
You've posted this in the wrong place, friend 🤣🤣🤣
Little is being done. Every summer, more and more people are renting boats, some of whom have never even been to sea. All it takes is a quick course, and they're given access to an activity that can be very dangerous without knowledge and, above all, experience. When will these rentals be limited and the requirements for operating a boat be tightened?
