sidcow Posted October 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) A woman has died at a Rugby Club fundraiser trying to stuff as many marshmallows into her mouth as possible. I've always thought these eating competitions and cram as much stuff into your mouth competitions were stupid and dangerous and there you go. Stuff as many marshmallows into your mouth as you can...... WHY???? Now some kids have lost their mum - maybe watched her die for some stupid bloody nonsense.

Mark Albrighton Posted October 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2023 There was a thing 20 or so years ago in the states with kids cramming as many marshmallows in their mouths and trying to say a phrase at the same time, which resulted in a couple of fatalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How horrible for everyone involved. Imagine having suggested it for the agenda The report said that the local council was investigating the Health and Safety arrangements. You can bet your bottom dollar there was ZERO thoughts about Health and Safety, probably not any written risk assessments or medial provisions. So on top of the huge guilt I would imagine there will be some extremely uncomfortable questions to answer which could even conceivably lead to criminal prosecutions.

I think we could get way more mileage out of Halloween, it's fun and I get to eat loads of sweets IDKWTCH bought a halloween/autumn wreath the other day. I didn't know it was a thing, and I was quite annoyed. But actually it looks really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 It’s obviously horrific for those directly affected but does there seriously need to be a HSE investigation? It’s an accident, accidents happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an accident, accidents happen. AFAIK, events planning legislation dictates it. They're supposed to have minor and major incident plans in place. If they did and they followed them and tragedy strikes then accidental it will be. There's supposed to be a registered first aider on site. Any for-profit organisation has a duty of care over attendees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
