2023-04-27 16:55:00


The victim’s name is Aron. The tragedy occurred in a former power station in Zwevegem, West Flanders. The place has become an adventure site, ‘Transfo’.
A thousand students aged 12 to 18 came to Transfo for a gathering of boarding schools in the Flemish province. The young people took part in obstacle courses and were able to learn regarding different sports.

Wednesday evening, it is 8 p.m. The day ends when the drama occurs. Aron takes a Zipline, a descent along a cable stretched between two points. The summit is 15 meters high. Michael Vanden Heede – commissioner – MIRA police area: “He is one of the monitors of the organization who works for the site“, he specifies.

“Our students are very shocked”

Quickly, help arrives on the scene, but the 24-year-old victim succumbs to his injuries. The prosecution went to the scene and dispatched an expert to investigate the circumstances of the accident. An additional investigation is carried out by the labor auditor. This Thursday evening, it is always misunderstanding. Many young teenagers felt in horror or heard cries of fear and panic. Miek Kemel, director of the school group ‘Skobo’: “Our students are very shocked. They are quite young, 12 or 13 years old. For them it is difficult. At the moment they are very calm. They are looking for support from each other.”

The adventure site remained closed today.
