death at festival

A man has collapsed and deceased when attending the festival T in the Park. The 24-year-old collapsed around midnight on the first night of the festival, as he was heading towards the campsite coming from the main area. He died before members of the emergency services could do anything. According to the on-scene police officers there were no suspicious circumstances and that nobody was arrested as being a suspect of killing the man. Organizers of T in the Park think that around 85000 people will attend this festival, and they have brought up an army of 450 policemen.


Own opinion:

I think the organisation is wrong here. They should have gotten more policemen, because 450 when expecting 85000 people is just not enough. I am a frequent festival go'er myself and I think that when its a festival as big as T in the Park, or for instance, the Dutch festivals Lowlands and Pinkpop, that you should have at least 1500 police officers. In this way you ensure that problems like fights and things like people collapsing are handled in the quickest way possible. This is the ensure the safety and the healthy experience of the festival.
