Fall in Son Gotleu: A dramatic morning and the question of roof safety

Answer

Are flat roofs in Mallorca dangerous?

Flat roofs are not automatically dangerous, but they can become risky if access is open, barriers are weak or maintenance has been delayed. In Mallorca, the main issue is often not the roof itself but the condition of the building and how well access is controlled. Older neighbourhoods with many shared buildings need particular care.
