An eight-year-old boy was seriously injured at the Wiesenmarkt in Bleiburg, Carinthia. According to Kleine Zeitung, the boy slipped under the closed safety bar of a ride and fell onto the visitor walkway.

DER STANDARD reports that the safety bar was properly closed when the boy slid through. The incident occurred at the Wiesenmarkt, known for its rides and attractions.

Despite the father's efforts to pull his son back onto the seat, he was unable to do so. The boy was seriously injured and had to be flown to the hospital by rescue helicopter, as reported by the press.

The incident took place during the market's visitation, which attracts many families and visitors. The exact circumstances of the fall are currently under investigation, and no further information regarding the boy's medical treatment is available.
