New Year's Eve is a highlight for many people: fireworks, sparkling wine, and social gatherings. At the same time, it's one of the most accident-prone days of the year. Emergency rooms and rescue services regularly report a significantly increased number of injuries. In this article, we'll show you which accidents are particularly common – and what solutions we offer to help you be prepared for an emergency.
Typical accidents on New Year's Eve
1. Injuries caused by fireworks
Fireworks are the most frequent cause of accidents on New Year's Eve. Those particularly at risk include:
-Hands and fingers (burns, lacerations, amputation injuries)
-Eyes and face (due to splinters and sparks)
-Ears (acoustic trauma)
Many of these injuries are caused by improper handling, defective pyrotechnics, or alcohol.
2. Cuts and puncture wounds
Cutting injuries often occur when opening bottles, cutting food, or from broken glass – often in private settings, far from quick medical help.
3. Falls and bruises
Wetness, slippery surfaces, alcohol, and poor lighting conditions significantly increase the risk of falls. Typical consequences include bruises, sprains, or fractures.
4. Burns in the home
Not only fireworks, but also fondue, raclette, candles and sparklers regularly lead to burn and scald injuries.
Why preparation is crucial
Emergency services and hospitals are often overwhelmed on New Year's Eve. Minor injuries often require first aid at home. Good preparation can help:
