A British man was hospitalised after drunkenly falling off a boat and getting struck by its propeller.<\/p>\n

The victim, 22, suffered deep cuts and bruises in the accident at the holiday hotspot of Magaluf, according to Spanish<\/a> outlet Ultima Hora.<\/a><\/p>\n

Horrified holidaymakers on the packed beach could only watch on as he was pulled out from under the boat.<\/a><\/p>\n

Paramedics rushed to the well-heeled Nikki Beach resort to treat him for his serious injuries.<\/p>\n

According to the paper, the victim had rented the boat hours earlier planning on spending the day cruising along the coast with friends.<\/p>\n

But according to local reports, his intoxication caused him\u00a0to fall into the propellers while the boat was moving, causing multiple wounds.<\/p>\n

He was stabilised and taken to Son Espases Hospital at around 5pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It came the week after a British tourist was killed in a holiday jet ski crash.<\/a><\/p>\n

Resorts such as Torremolinos, Magaluf, and Mykonos are popular party destinations for Brits abroad.<\/p>\n

But following a rise in disorderly behaviour in 2024, Spain\u2019s Balearic government has clamped down on boozy Brits.<\/p>\n

On the party islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, guests now have a six-drink limit. Under the rules, you can have three drinks at lunch, and a further three at dinner.<\/p>\n

However, the cap only applies to regions that have been badly affected by disruptive guests.<\/p>\n

On Magaluf\u2019s infamous strip, pub crawls have also been banned.<\/p>\n
