"Swimming abilities are being tested for canoeists as they find themselves in distress"
In an incident that occurred on Saturday, a 57-year-old kayaker named Angelika B. required rescue by firefighters and DLRG helpers on the Neckar in Heidelberg. The kayaker, along with two companions, capsized during the incident.
The incident took place during a routine check by the water police. Despite multiple police instructions to vacate the clear fairway, the kayaker defied these orders and continued to paddle. The kayak in question lacked nighttime lighting, further adding to the potential danger of the situation.
Water sports were still prohibited after the fireworks ended, but the kayaker set off again. This decision, coupled with the absence of life jackets among the three individuals, led to a precarious situation.
The kayak operator may face charges for disregarding police instructions and violating the water sports ban. The 57-year-old kayaker's actions have led to potential legal consequences, and the operator may face penalties for their actions.
It's worth noting that the kayaker had previously attracted water police attention for being in a clear fairway. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to safety regulations and instructions from authorities, especially in potentially hazardous situations.
