A 15-year-old rock fan was seriously injured this past Saturday (August 1) at the Sonisphere festival at Knebworth House.

The teenager was thrown out of a fairground spinning wheel ride at the rock festival. It is believed his safety straps came lose resulting in him being catapulted into the air and came crashing down on a nearby block of portable toilets.

Ambulance service spokesman Gary Sanderson, told local paper The Welwyn & Hatfield Times:

"The young man sustained potentially life-threatening injuries and our paramedics at the venue worked rapidly to treat and stabilize him. Following this, he was rushed to an awaiting trauma team at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage."

Kerrang! thoughts and prayers are with the unnamed teen’s family and friends at this sad time.



I know Stevo isn't 15, but I'm gonna be really worried until he posts or appears again...


Although, I'll admit, i found the bit about the portable toilets pretty lulzy. I'm a terrible person, I know.

I'm alive so don't worry
