Another Orenburg Region Resident Injured in Tubing Accident
Doctors from a local hospital contacted the police in the Saraktashsky District, reporting that a 17-year-old girl had been hospitalized with multiple injuries.
It turned out that she sustained fractures after sliding down a hill on an inflatable tube in broad daylight and colliding with another person. The victim is currently in the hospital, where doctors are providing all necessary care.
This is at least the third similar incident in 2026 in the Orenburg region. As reported by 56.RU, a driver from Buguruslan was fined for joyriding with a tube tied to a car (fortunately, no one was seriously injured), in the Dombarovsky District, a similar tube attached to a car hit a pensioner, and in Novotroitsk, two children collided while tubing.
We remind you how to tube safely:
- Choose only specially equipped slopes for tubing.
- Check the tube for defects and assess the steepness of the slope and the presence of hazardous areas.
- Avoid collisions.
- Observe the order of descent.
- Do not tube in a «train» formation.
- Control your speed.
