    Liège Is rollerblading safe?

    Verified press reference published by Le Soir about Carl De Moncharline.

    Article text · translation

    Guilty of over-optimism, "Le Soir" had rejoiced that the first Liège edition of the "Belgium Rollers", on July 10, had gone off without incident. Alas, an unfortunate female reader informs us that her excursion ended in a collarbone fracture and a few burns. Victims of a fall in the same spot, two other participants also had to be transported to Saint-Joseph Hospital. Arriving in front of the Charlemagne underpass, the organizers suggested that those who had apprehensions form a caterpillar line behind an expert who would brake the convoy (...) We were more than ten and we started picking up speed, swerving, then we crashed violently, indignantly reports this reader, incapacitated for several weeks.
