five people burned after belly-sliding, disguised as Power Rangers

Five people were injured in the night from Wednesday to Thursday and had to be hospitalized for “burns”, after improvising, in disguise, a “belly-gliding” activity after participating in a business seminar in Salesches (North) , learned Agence France-Presse (AFP) from the gendarmerie.

The “belly-slide” is an experience of sliding on the belly along a plastic mat on which soapy water has been spilled. Four men and a woman were rescued by the firefighters around 04:30 and transported to the Lille hospital center.

Victims of injuries deemed “light” by the firefighters, they were however taken care of by the burn service “because of the location” of their burns, “especially in the genitals, which required special treatment” , said a spokesman for the gendarmerie.

Disguised as Power Rangers

The accident occurred in a reception hall in the small town, where a business seminar was held on Wednesday with some 45 people, followed by a costume party.

In the early morning, a dozen people, some of whom were “disguised as Power Rangers” with colorful combinations, “continued the evening by improvising a belly-gliding activity” in this same room, explained this spokesman for the gendarmerie.

“They recovered dishwashing detergent found in the kitchens, installed a rubber mat probably recovered in the room then, dressed in their disguises, threw themselves on the carpet in turn to try to do aquaplanning”, a he continued.

According to the findings of the firefighters, “it is certainly the conjunction of friction with the carpet and the nature of the disguises they wore that caused these burns,” he said.
