The terrible news had not been spread until then: a young worker was killed this Monday, April 15, 2024, while working on one of the construction sites in progress on the Futuroscope site.
Double open investigation
The young man in his twenties fell head first into a tube five to six meters deep, according to our information. Rescue teams were unable to resuscitate him.
A double investigation was opened, carried out both by the gendarmerie but also by the Labor Inspectorate in order to determine the circumstances and possible responsibilities and safety breaches.
Requested on the morning of this Wednesday, April 17, 2024, the management of the amusement park did not respond to our call.
A psychological support unit was deployed to the scene on Monday to support people who felt the need.
Major projects in progress
The biggest project underway at Futuroscope concerns the Aquascope, which is due to open its doors to the public next July. The other major project concerns the Plaza, the future meeting point of the site.
This terrible workplace accident comes a year after a highly publicized fire broke out at the Objectif Mars attraction where two visitors were burned.
This is the first time, to our knowledge, that such a tragedy has occurred at Futuroscope.
