Thirty-year-old sucked out of the mouthpiece of the pool in Sestri Levante: it's very serious

A 13-year-old girl was severely injured after her hair was suctioned into the drain of a swimming pool at a seaside resort in Sestri Levante, Italy. She was rushed to the Gaslini Pediatric Hospital in Genoa in critical condition following an emergency rescue operation. The incident occurred while she was swimming, with initial reports indicating that her hair became entangled in the drain, trapping her underwater. Emergency personnel performed resuscitation efforts before transporting her by helicopter to the hospital. Authorities, including the Carabinieri and Coast Guard, are investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances and assess the safety of the pool’s drainage system. This tragic event follows several similar incidents in recent months, including a three-year-old German child trapped in a spa pool in Celle Ligure and a 12-year-old boy who died in Rimini. These cases highlight ongoing concerns about the safety of pool drainage systems and their potential risks to swimmers.
