Training session turns sour for German roller skaters
Uh oh, the unthinkable happened during a roller skating session in Aerzen, Hameln-Pyrmont. Seventeen young ladies, aged between 12 and 19, found themselves in a pickle after an unexpected electrical jolt during their team building exercise. What started as a fun, Sunday evening roller skate session turned into a medical emergency.
The incident happened as the girls were practicing a choreography in a sports hall. As they held hands and skated, they all felt a shock that left them feeling unwell, with symptoms including headaches, tingling, and numbness. Three of the girls were rushed to the hospital for further examination, but the good news was that no one was left with any severe injuries.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, ruling out any third-party fault or equipment malfunction as the cause. Police spokesperson, steering clear of any crime suspects, hinted at something unusual, stating, "It's not something that happens often."
As the young skaters take a break to recover, it's a good time to reflect on the importance of safety during their leisure activities.

During the incident, the roller skaters and coaches were unaware of any potential hazards, and suddenly, they were face-to-face with an electrical shock. While the cause of the shock remains unclear, investigations will likely reveal more details, ensuring everyone involved can take appropriate steps to ensure safety in the future.
