Brit, 22, ‘falls off boat and gets caught by propeller’ in Magaluf
A British man was hospitalised after drunkenly falling off a boat and getting struck by its propeller.
The victim, 22, suffered deep cuts and bruises in the accident at the holiday hotspot of Magaluf, according to Spanish outlet Ultima Hora.
Horrified holidaymakers on the packed beach could only watch on as he was pulled out from under the boat.
Paramedics rushed to the well-heeled Nikki Beach resort to treat him for his serious injuries.
According to the paper, the victim had rented the boat hours earlier planning on spending the day cruising along the coast with friends.
But according to local reports, his intoxication caused him to fall into the propellers while the boat was moving, causing multiple wounds.
He was stabilised and taken to Son Espases Hospital at around 5pm on Sunday.
It came the week after a British tourist was killed in a holiday jet ski crash.
Debra Wright, 43, from Wigan, was on the back of a jet ski driven by husband Chris off Spain’s Costa del Sol when it collided with a speedboat.
Resorts such as Torremolinos, Magaluf, and Mykonos are popular party destinations for Brits abroad.
But following a rise in disorderly behaviour in 2024, Spain’s Balearic government has clamped down on boozy Brits.
On the party islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, guests now have a six-drink limit. Under the rules, you can have three drinks at lunch, and a further three at dinner.
However, the cap only applies to regions that have been badly affected by disruptive guests.
On Magaluf’s infamous strip, pub crawls have also been banned.
