Answer

Are older people in Mallorca more at risk in a gas leak?

Older residents can be at greater risk because they may live alone, react more slowly in an emergency or have less access to regular safety checks. A gas leak in a quiet residential area can become dangerous very quickly if no one notices the warning signs. Regular contact, inspections and simple alarm systems can make a real difference.
