Knocked Loose have made an $8,000 contribution to a GoFundMe launched for Jamie Ulshoffer, the woman who was left paralyzed after a man fell from a tree and landed on her during the Knocked Loose set at this past weekend’s Louder Than Life festival in Louisville. As previously reported, Ulshoffer’s spine was apparently severed as a result of the incident, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She had been watching Knocked Loose’s performance at a side tent stage at the massive four-day rock fest.
While they haven’t released a statement yet, Knocked Loose popped up as the top donor on the GoFundMe page with their $8,000 contribution. As of this posting, roughly $28,000 has been raised toward a $40,000 goal.
Incident Details
At a hospital ICU, Ulshoffer told local ABC affiliate WHAS11, “I can’t feel my feet. Can’t do anything that I used to. I’m not going to be able to play with the kids.” Her husband Conor, who was at the festival with her, remarked, “We were actually at the backside of the tent and there’s four trees in the back… We were on the back right corner. I turn around and see her on her back… Then everyone said some dude fell out of a tree.”
Investigation and Response
Local police have reported that there will be no criminal investigation into the incident, and that this is a civil matter. Louder Than Life promoter Danny Wimmer Presents stated, “Due to patient privacy, we are unable to comment on or provide additional details regarding specific medical incidents.”
In conclusion, the incident at Louder Than Life has had a profound impact on Ulshoffer and her family, and the contribution from Knocked Loose is a significant gesture of support. The GoFundMe page will likely continue to receive donations as the community rallies around Ulshoffer and her family during this difficult time. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and awareness at music festivals, and the need for attendees to be mindful of their surroundings at all times.
