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.

Why would you bring a stanley knife to a music event?

Think before you post, then don't post.

No i'm not, They were treated on site. It wasn't 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;

A flesh wound with a stanley knife isn't a serious injury.

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.

You never know when you might need to cut a bit of carpet.

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 · 09-07-2011 10:45AM

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!!!

Getting dangerously close to something I'm sure we're all thinking. :pac:

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

Speculating on the injuries at Oxegen or speculating in general?.

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 · 09-07-2011 10:46AM

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.
