Explosion on Carnival float in Le Châble, Valais injured eleven

The injured were treated at the scene before being taken to several hospitals in the region. According to Swiss public radio RTS, one person was reportedly seriously injured and was flown to the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) by air ambulance.

Is Switzerland’s new motto: “F**k around and find out”?

It should “We no longer have any need for smelly, noisy pyrotechnics”

Maybe not in the whole of Switzerland but certainly in Valais.

“A cantonal police spokesman told the Keystone‑SDA news agency that investigators believe the explosion was caused by an air compressor on a confetti cannon.”
