Sledding Accident Sparks Safety Concerns

Published: 2025-01-04

A series of sledding accidents occurred on Saturday at Myraløkka park in Oslo, leaving at least one woman with broken bones.

The accidents were caused by exposed metal stumps left behind after a bench was removed.

Emergency services responded multiple times throughout the day, and police have since cordoned off the area to prevent further injuries.

The park, a popular sledding spot, is owned by Oslo municipality, which has pledged to secure the site and replace the bench soon.

Authorities are investigating the incident to determine accountability and ensure safety measures are in place.

Residents are advised to exercise caution while sledding in public areas.
