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?

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.

eh...yes it can be

Obviously, but it wasn't.

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

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.

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

And to further quote you;

Whats your experience with treating medical emergencies?.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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 · 09-07-2011 10:54AM

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.

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.

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.

Kidchameleon · 09-07-2011 10:57AM

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.

Really?

So he texted you rather than alerted the paramedics?

Or is he a paramedic himself to give that kind of diagnosis?

Or are you just trolling / scaremongering?

Sadly, the scum bag element so prevalent in Oxegen has crept into Electric Picnic too.

Hope those victims are okay and they catch the piece of **** that done it. I'll never go to Oxegen again. You'd go to Pukkelpop or Sonar for the same price.

That needs serious rephrasing.

HerbSimpson · 09-07-2011 10:59AM

Just because it's not life threatening makes it better ? , that's pathetic. I know if I was slashed with a stanley knife enough to need a trip to hospital I would consider that very serious. There's also the possibility of scarring and I'm sure there would be a psychological impact.

Or maybe his friend arrived on the scene where there were already paramedics present?

You know what some scum do,they put a match or something else in between two stanley blades so that when they slash someone it leaves a wound so big that it cant be put back together,and the person has a big scar for the rest of their lives,not to mention the mental scar of been slashed with a knife.

Of course it makes it better! Not good, or acceptable, but definately better, yes.
