Cutting work can be carried out on construction sites with high water pressure. A worker (25) was fatal on Tuesday in Innsbruck. The water lance fell from the man’s hand. This had fatal consequences for him.
A good high-pressure cleaner for domestic use has a pump capacity of around 100 to 200 bar. So-called water lances for cutting work on construction sites bring it up to 2000 bar. The comparison shows the power in such devices. Lance whirled uncontrollably through the air This force was painfully felt by the 25-year-old worker in Innsbruck-Vill on Monday. The man from Spain operated the water lance on a tunnel construction site. The device fell out of his hand. The lance whirled through the air uncontrollably, its jet hit the worker and inflicted deep cuts on both thighs. The seriously injured man was rescued by the rescue team and taken to the Innsbruck clinic.
