A soccer goal fell over on a soccer field in Bad Rappenau, Baden-Württemberg.
As a result, a boy's arm was so badly injured that an amputation was in the room.
According to a police spokesman, it now looks as if the doctors could have prevented that.
According to a report by the investigators, the eleven-year-old had played with friends on Friday.
According to previous knowledge, the children climbed around on the gate and hung on the bar.
It fell over and fell on the boy's upper arm.
How exactly the accident came about is still unclear.
According to the police spokesman, the injured's friends alerted the mother, who in turn called rescue workers.
A helicopter flew the boy to a special clinic.
According to the spokesman, it is a massive stainless steel gate, as it is used for e-youth games.
An expert is supposed to help with the investigation, for example, whether the screws of the gate had been loosened willfully or the material had given way.
