Sawing work can be carried out on construction sites with high water pressure. A worker (25) was fatally injured in Innsbruck on Tuesday. 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 of such devices.
Lance whirled through the air uncontrollably
The 25-year-old worker in Innsbruck-Vill felt this force painful on Monday. The man from Spain operated the water lance at a tunnel construction site. The device fell out of his hand. The lance whirled uncontrollably through the air, hitting the worker, causing deep lacerations to both thighs.
The seriously injured man was rescued by the ambulance and taken to the Innsbruck clinic.
