KRYAL Castle was likened to a war zone on Saturday night.People were dying and patrons were stumbling upon unconscious bodies in the huge, darkened complex.Emergency physician Dr Nigel Beck had never seen a rave party like it."These events are out of control," he said yesterday."I've worked at very large music events for the last nine years and this was the worst event I've ever been to."Dr Beck was among a team of eight medical field staff stationed inside the Warrenheip venue, where 5000 Ultraworld Festival revellers partied for 14 hours. MICA (Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance) officers were also on scene, with one ambulance on site and another transferring patients to Ballarat Health Services Base Hospital.Dr Beck said the carpark was awash with cheap drugs, and witnessed patrons smoking "ice", 50m from a police van."We relied on other patrons as much as anyone else to find the overdoses in such a large and darkened complex. We didn't have time to wander around picking people up off the ground," he said."It was like a war zone, with six people carrying them in unconscious on a stretcher, and we had to resuscitate them."We had five or six of those; it got very nasty and we were very lucky."Dr Beck said one reveller almost died while medical stuff struggled to clear and secure his airway.He did not blame Kryal Castle or the event organisers for the overdoses, but said rave parties should be banned in Ballarat."We never want another one of these in Ballarat. Young people will die next time - they nearly did this time," he said.Fourteen people, all from Melbourne, were treated at the Base Hospital following the rave party.Three of the 14 spent time in the hospital's intensive care unit.
