You know what i mean, The thread title may imply that they were seriously stabbed. A flesh wound with a stanley knife isn't a serious injury.

A throat/wrist cut would be fairly serious.

Heard about something similar last year. Some pieball was just going around with a stanley knife pricking people with it. People turn into animals down there.

Animals with weapons that is.

What kind of trauma facilities do they have at Oxegen?.

And to further quote you;

Whats your experience with treating medical emergencies?.

I don't want to speak for him, but I think he's saying its not life threatening. Life threatening injuries are, to the best of my knowledge, more serious than non-life threatening injuries.

This is all semantics though and obviously no one is suggesting the situation is flippant. People will argue over anything on the internet it seems.

An apparent non-life threatening injury can turn life threatening very quickly.

I doubt this is going to be the only serious incident of the weekend. In my experience, Sunday night will be absolute fcuking mayhem down there.

joes girls

But you cant really say oxegen is full of scum because of this, no-matter what it was with 80,000 people at it there would be some sort of trouble.
I do think it's a well run festival, and the people working up there are very helpful and nice, well my daughter said so, please don't burst my bubble!!!

There's a reason I left on the Sunday night a coupla years ago.

Is it only life threatening injuries that are serious now ?

Tell that to someone who has to spend weeks in Hospital and have plastic surgery to to reconstruct their face after being slashed with a stanley blade.

I suggest anyone on the receiving end would consider that as serious, No?

mayordenis

I felt like an auld bollox for saying I was never going again, but this more than seals it. Hope the lads are ok, this should be a death knell for the event.

Think it'll be tighter down there now after this happening? I doubt the any of the security will be allowed to sleep tonight. If 1 guy can get a stanley blade in though, how many more are there on site right now??

The injuries at Oxegen. I don't disbelieve you that injuries can escalate very rapidly in some cases.

Semantics....did you read my post at all??


EDIT:
Anyway I was speaking in relation to another posters comment so I can hardly comment further.

take it you skipped this part, he was taken to hospital, where hes still being treated
as theres also a risk of blood poisoning as im assuming the scum with the stanley knife didnt sterilise it

Four of the men were treated for their injuries on the site and one man, aged 19, was taken to Tallaght General Hospital.

I bow down to your superior knowledge of medical emergencies and so will not be dragged into your ego boosting battle of knowledge. All i'll say is that i know what i meant with my original statement, That a simple flesh wound with a stanley knife as long as it isn't in a dangerous place (these weren't) is not a serious injury.

I know about 20 gone this year, JG, and apart from the fact that a few of them would cheerfully chat up your daughter (if the right age), she'd come to no greater harm from them!

Ofc there are some who will cause trouble, as there seem to be everywhere these days, but the vast majority are decent kids having fun.

Horrible to hear about this type of incident though.

Was at it once when it was Wittness... never again!

Sh*tehole!

I suppose in a sense they were lucky it was only a Stanley knife, if it was a larger, sharper knife some serious consequences (and by which I mean life-threatening or death). Speaking as somebody who'd got friends up there, I really hope they catch the c unt that did this and that he does time.

I've no idea about the injuries at Oxegen.

But apparently non-life threatening injuries can turn life threatening really quickly, just off the top of my head would be a case of shock setting in (doesn't have to be because of blood loss) - and shock is a life threatening condition.

Stanley blades cause horrible injuries.

This is what i meant.

WTF have u ever had a Stanley stuck in to u??? It can be a serious injury depending where it goes in. at full length it will go in deep enough to hit major veins and arteries , it can also scar you!

mattser

Is it any wonder things kick off in the likes of Oxygen when a few posters on the subject here are at each others throats over whether a stanley knife can be a dangerous weapon ?
I worry for more that the economic state of this country.

TBH the reportedly low attendence is more likely to be the death knell for it.

I won't answer your first question. but if you had bothered your arse to scroll up a few posts this is exactly what i said.

From reading the stories it seemed to me that these were not serious injurys, Maybe they were and maybe we will learn more soon, But as it stands they weren't.

I know a fella who has half a right ear and a scar on his cheek because of a stanley blade.

ugh that is pretty sickening

I was just saying that we can hardly assume that these injuries have turned life threatening without any confirmation. That's how rumours start and it's bad form (imo). Making comments based on suggestion, assumption and speculation as if they are fact serves no one, especially in a situation like this. It leads to panic and false truths. And its too easy on the internet to let things go out of control.

I'd rather comment on what we know/have been reported without jumping to conclusions.
