Fatal Accident at the G-Spot

Responsibility check for all Mumbai traceurs.

Yesterday night an 8-year old child was killed when a decrepit section of the aeroplane at our most popular hotspot - the Aeroplane Garden in Santa Cruz - collapsed on him while he was playing under it. Older Parkour Mumbai and Team NUTs members will remember the exact spot very well, as they have also had their fair share of damaging the already damaged propeller of the plane when they used to play over it themselves.

These same members would also remember well the warnings of their more responsible teammates, as well as those of the authorities there that the plane's wings and propellers were damaged and could come down any time, so they should not be scaling it in the first place. Imagine what would have happenned had a traceur been involved/responsible in such an incident.

This is why I always tell everyone to behave in a mature and responsible manner towards your surroundings when practicing parkour.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased child.

The heat level of the hotspot has been increased. Traceurs, please refrain from using it for some time.
