Swanton Abbott rave: Man seriously injured in speaker fall A man is in hospital with head injuries after falling from a speaker rig on to an agricultural grass cutter while at an overnight rave in Norfolk.
Police said the illegal music event started at about midnight at the Heath Plantation, in Swanton Abbott, near North Walsham.
The 18-year-old, from Downham Market, was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Police said he remains in a "serious" condition. Four people were arrested.
"When you see somebody fall off a rig and hurt themselves like that and we have to get the law enforcement involved it's quite disappointing."Ollie Clements, who attended the rave, said: "It's not a nice thing to see. We all come here and it's supposed to be a community vibe.
Police had initially said about 600 people attended the rave but later revised the figure to "more than 250 people".
A spokesman said the force was alerted to the event after people reported a large number of cars "racing around" the area.
He said officers had worked to close down the rave as soon as was safely possible.
'Potentially tragic'Supt Carl Edwards said: "Norfolk Constabulary has a zero tolerance approach to unlicensed musical events (UMEs).
"This incident should serve as a warning to other people considering holding or attending UMEs that these events can have potentially tragic consequences.
"We warn people attending that they are dangerous places as they have little or no health and safety provision, as well as leading to damage and disruption to businesses and the local community.
The incident comes a week after a 26-year-old woman was flown to hospital following a rave near Thetford.
Police were called to a site in Croxton on 20 July where up to 300 people were partying.

Falling Asleep Standing Up SPEAKERS I've never been so tired i fell asleep standing up, but now i can say i've topped it by falling asleep over n over standing up in front of rig... this shit would give you tinnitus if you stood there too long quickly!
Warehouse LDN presents MadTech Records w/ Secret Guest & Voyeur- Bank Holiday Special After our hard earned summer break, we reopen the Warehouse LDN doors with a label showcase from Kerri Chandler’s revered MadTech Records on Saturday 24th August. We intend to celebrate the bank holiday weekend in style so we’ve drafted in the services of a past Warehouse LDN guest and bona fide New York deep house legend. We can let you in on who the secret guest is on Monday 5th August and the main man will play a rare 4 hour set - so keep your eyes peeled!
Support on the night comes from MadTech rising stars ‘Voyeur’. The Leeds duo’s 2012 remix of Bombay Bicycle Club gained serious airplay from Radio 1 tastemakers including Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Annie Mac and cemented their position as house music front runners. Their MadTech debut ‘Blame It On The Youth’ dropped late last year, with a remix from head honcho Kerri Chandler, and has been lighting up dance floors ever since. Now with a Boiler Room show under their wing and high profile appearances at all the right parties, Voyeur are not to be missed. London's boutique party Bad Apple will be taking care of room 2 so expect an immersive blend of deep house and disco and good vibes all night long...
Line-up Info:
Main Room: Special MadTech Guest (4 Hour Set) - Announced 5th August, Voyeur
Room 2: Bad Apple - Dave Coleman, Josef Lupo, S.T.Ruggs, Dave Harbour

A new night of contemporary techno and related experimental musics.
Hopefully we can make it a regular event: somewhere to dance and listen to forward-thinking music without the hassle and door tax of a big club.
Small venue; big rig; lasers; quality music; 100% VIBEZ
UK : East : "Electronica" events being licensed in Ipswich/Suffolk I have never been 100% sure what Electronica actually is (EDM for hipsters with wierd beat patterns?) but the Council actually licensed an event playing this in a disused car park on the TENS scheme. It was only licensed until 05:00 but there weren't loads of security conditions, I've been reading the Licensing documents for it. I was even considering attending it but forgot the date it was happening as it wasn't that widely publicised on the dance music scene even though it was in the local papers..
what is more important though is that it shows that putting on legal events is still possible even in what is claimed to be the heaviest "zero tolerance" area of the UK....
Plans for the Weekend? Hot or Coolio. We all Love the Weekend. Wondering what plans people have got to make the weekend better..?
A Hot or Coolio Weekend...?
