SwanR Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I picked up on this yesterday. Sad to see another incident down there. It will be interesting to see whether it leads to any kind of investigation depending on whether it’s in any way similar to the last one. For now I just wish all the best to those involved.

Hylander Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Sounds a bit more than a 'man overboard incident'. For Forensics to be there and the place taped off. As you say Jean, wish all involved well and sad to see another holiday curtailed which is so terrible when people have waited so long to get away.

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Speaking from experience, its not been a very good (short)season so far for some bad accidents. I wish well for those involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That forensics was involved makes me wonder if this was actually a 'holiday' related incident. That aside I share every one else's concerns. I also wonder why during this year we have had an apparent and unfortunate increase in accidents and tragedies.

I suspect that many of your fellow ancients can relate to your experiences, oh dear, what an unfortunate summer you have had! I sincerely hope that your well deserved retirement plans are not unduly impacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Part of this rise will no doubt be the amount of new to boating novices among the hirers, with the staycations this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Recent incident update: https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/police-cordon-off-quayside-after-man-injured-1-6839793 Re this incident and the fact that the air-ambulance was involved. I haven't measured the distance from the incident site to the hospital but I doubt that it's much over a mile, if that. In a blue-light situation I suspect that it is a pretty quick journey. That it was an airlift suggests to me that it was a really nasty injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddfellow Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Radio Norfolk has just reported that a 20 year old from Yorkshire injured in this incident passed away in hospital last night. No further details. Not a good year (or couple of months really) at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of the young man who sadly passed away yesterday.

Cheesey69 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Although I understand the sentiments in my industry we discuss accidents and deaths as and when they happen in the hope education and discourse could prevent further accidents. In light of the high rate of incidents around that area I would expect those with experience to be screaming from the rooftops hoping to prevent further deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 We discuss them, but we dont speculate over the causes before the official inquiry has released the details. then if there are learning points we spread those as wide as possible. That said we will try and emphasise the sense of wearing life jackets and other safety gear, especially around Great Yarmouth and Reedham where the tides are pretty strong, as that is good idea any time around those areas and especially when mooring up or on deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey69 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Agreed. It’s just I’m seeing more and more dangerous behaviour and actions by all users of the rivers but more so by kayaks and paddle boarders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
