Cardioprotected trail in the Vesuvius National Park. It is the one identified as number 5, visited in the last year by over 600 thousand people, which from today will have seven defibrillators along the 1,700 meters of the path. The park authority announced this in a note explaining how all this aims "to make the site not only an extraordinary experience, but also a place where the safety and well-being of visitors are absolute priorities".
Always from the park they remember how "along the path that leads to the crater rim there were already defibrillators and numerous interventions have been ensured by the guides over the years, saving lives".
The defibrillators were delivered by President Raffaele De Luca to the president of the permanent presidio Volcano Vesuvius guides, Paolo Cappelli: they are Reanibex-100, latest generation semi-automatic models. "The Vesuvius crater - declares De Luca - is the most visited place in the national park and is reached, every year, by visitors of all ages and from all over the world. Many come to Vesuvius to listen to the energy that the volcano emits, the pulsations of the earth. A unique experiential visit. Making Vesuvius safe to listen to is a priority for the park authority".
"On the path that leads to the crater - adds Cappelli - we have five points for defibrillators, but it is understandable that we intervene everywhere as needed. Our presidium is prepared and always ready to act for any type of emergency".
