While the conditions of the fifty-two-year-old who fell from the roof of a building in Via La Marmora in Quartu a few days ago while he was fixing an antenna are still very serious, another almost carbon copy episode occurred in Flumini on the Quartu coast.

This time, the victim was an eighty-two-year-old man who, having climbed onto the roof of his house to fix the antenna, fell onto the balcony below. He was taken to the emergency room with a red code, where he suffered multiple injuries.

These are just a few of the countless accidents that occur in homes due to those who dabble in DIY, regardless of the dangers. "You should never do these things alone," warns Davide Savona of Croce d'Oro. "We also deal with countless cases of people who cut themselves with brush cutters or sanders, and there are also those who suffer burns from home fires. Just a few days ago, a man lost two fingers to sanders." Among those most at risk are the elderly and women who fall down stairs while cleaning.
