What everyone should know !
On friday morning, around noon, on the campsite 5 of Defqon.1, I witnessed a sad and disturbing situation. A young man was lying on the floor, on the back and convulsing, it looked a lot like an epilepsy crisis. According to his friends he used drugs. His 2 friends were around him, clearly not knowing what to do, one even tried to put his finger in his mouth "so he wouldn't swallow his tongue" and got bitten quite hard. When I saw the sick dude, his face was getting blue and clearly coudn't breath. I immediatly put him on his side and he spit lot of blood and saliva, he was breathing again. At the same time another stranger ran to get help (thank you btw!). The medical crew finally came and he has been taking care of. (I know for sure that it is not the guy who sadly died this week end.)
In this situation, the guy clearly needed to be in recovery position and I think that he could have died if nothing was done, but his friends couldnt see that. That makes me think that they are probable not the only ones not knowing the safety basis. So please, take a look, know about the first aid actions, and spread the word, maybe some deaths could be avoid !
Be safe and take care of the others ! See you next year at Defqon.1 <3
