A young woman loses her life after a futsal goal falls
Her family prepared religious ceremonies in memory of the deceased young woman
Samut Prakan, Thailand - In a painful tragedy, Wannawipa Khiawpo, a 28-year-old Non-Formal and Informal Education (NFE) student, lost her life on February 5 in Samut Prakan. The tragedy occurred while she was practicing for an intramural sports competition in the activities area in front of the NFE Education center in Bang Sao Thong district.
Wannawipa hung from the steel frame of an indoor soccer gate, a structure that had been in place for more than 10 years without prior incident.
However, on this occasion, the heavy structure fell on her, causing serious injuries. Despite the efforts of rescue personnel, who quickly arrived to provide first aid, the young woman was taken to Bang Sao Thong Hospital in an unconscious state and with chest injuries that turned out to be fatal.
Mr. Hassanai Tong-on, a rescue unit officer of the Bang Sao Thong Subdistrict Administrative Organization, recounted his efforts to rescue Wannawipa, highlighting the speed with which they attempted to provide assistance. Sadly, the young student could not survive the injuries sustained during the tragic incident.
Wannawipa's family received her body at the Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodin hospital in Samut Prakan province, and held religious ceremonies in Nakhon Phanom province in her memory.
After this fatal incident, the steel structure of the indoor soccer gate was dismantled and stored in the Disaster Mitigation and Prevention Center of the Subdistrict Administrative Organization.
