“Fortunately, amputation was not necessary”: employee (29) who was liberated from wind turbine gears, it suggests

A 29-year-old man from the Antwerp Mol could be released on Friday around 8 pm, after he had been stuck between the gears of a windmill in Genk. He was working at a great height on the engine of the turbine along the Henry Fordlaan. “We had to look for a way to free him for a long time without amputating his arm,” said Bart Aerts of the East Limburg Fire Zone, who explains how the rescue campaign went. The condition of the young man is now stable.
