After assault in Palma: Why a man lay in the Torrente de na Barbara for more than an hour

Answer

Why is the mouth of Torrente de na Bàrbara near Calle Aragón particularly challenging for responders?

It is a publicly accessible urban torrent with uneven ground and damaged fences, which can hinder extraction by rescue teams. Proposed improvements include better lighting, fence repairs, non-slip paths, and quicker use of cameras and multilingual support.
