The exercise ended in a terrible accident.
This Tuesday, at the beginning of the afternoon, a student from the private general high school of Île-de-France, in Villebon-sur-Yvette (Essonne), “had a serious accident during PE class”, informs the head of establishment in an email addressed to parents.
“We were asked for a 19-year-old young woman in absolute emergency,” confirms a manager from the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (Sdis) of Essonne.
The student was airlifted to the Parisian Pitié Salpêtrière hospital.
“She could be paralyzed from the lower limbs,” worried this Tuesday evening the mayor (without label) of the town, Victor Da Silva.
According to a parent of a student, his class was carrying out an exercise around juggling as part of an addicted sports class.
The goal was in particular to keep your balance on a big ball.
“According to my daughter, the injured student panicked when she saw another student on a ball,” says the mother.
The high school student then fell heavily on the back of her neck.
Former firefighter, the teacher had “the right reflexes”
“The teacher, a former firefighter, had the right reflexes, and immediately notified the emergency services,” indicates the diocesan director of Catholic education in Essonne, Gérald Omnes, contacted this Tuesday evening.
She was no longer able to get up.
The firefighters considered his condition worrying enough to request that he be airlifted.
At this time, we have no information on his state of health.
I am waiting to be able to speak with the head of the establishment to find out the exact circumstances of the accident.
