The Civil Guard is investigating the case of the Cajar ‘escape’ room in which a 42 year-old woman sustained very severe burns after being sprayed by a gasoline-containing liquid. She remains in the ICU at the Virgen del Rocio University Hospital Seville, with a serious prognosis.
One game involved the woman being given water from a bucket. However, the liquid is flammable and can ignite when it comes in contact with fire. As Europa Press has been informed by sources from the Armed Institute, the Civil Guard already took a statement from the three people involved in this business. The Court must also receive the statement.
Initially, the wound suffered from second-degree burns was transferred to a Granada health center. However, due to its serious condition, it was flown by helicopter to the Major Burns Unit at the Virgendel Rocio Hospital in Seville. Since then, she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a grave prognosis according to Europa Press.
The companies that provide escape rooms in the province of Granada published a statement in the final hours. They stated that they are concerned about following all security protocols and rules, and that they want to offer their customers a “quality service” and “no danger.”
In this context, they emphasize that only the room in question in the unfortunate incident decided months ago, with no full knowledge of other companies, that activities that pose a risk or danger do not fit the definition of an escape room. They also claimed that activities that pose risk to customers, workers, or facilities cannot be considered an escape room.
“This is another activity that we don’t feel connected with and should be independently regulated. They state that escape rooms do not allow participants to engage in activities that could put their physical health at risk.
