Serious accident when tobogganing: rescue operation in Flachau under time pressure!

Altenmarkt, Österreich - In the Austrian Alps, there were dramatic rescue campaigns last night when two men were seriously injured on departures of mountain tours. The mountain rescue company Flachau was alerted at around 10 p.m. after a 54-year-old toboggan run came off the toboggan run. He slid into an adjacent forest and fell over rocky terrain. Lukas Perner, headquarters of the mountain rescue company Flachau, reported: "We were able to serve him with the support of the mountain rescue doctor from Altenmarkt. He suffered very serious injuries and was taken to the Schwarzach hospital by the Red Cross." The circumstances of his fall are now being examined, while the responsible bodies are examining the exact details of the incident, such as Salzburg.ORF.at reported.

Already in the afternoon there was another incident in the Zauchensee region, also with a difficult outcome. A 54-year-old tourer from Lower Austria crashed over a five-meter-high rock during his departure from the Lackenkogel. The Altenmarkt mountain rescue was alerted at 3 p.m. when the scope of the accident became apparent. 14 mountain rescuers set out to reach the seriously injured under difficult conditions such as the falling darkness and strong snow. Thomas Gotthardt, head of the mountain rescue company Altenmarkt, said: "It was a race over time, because the man was seriously injured." After a first aid by the mountain rescue doctor, the patient was finally flown to the Schwarzach clinic, such as "https://www.meinbezirk.at/pongau/c-lokales/54-jaehriger-behergeenbei-schwer-schwer-hwer-hwer-hwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer-schwer, reported.

The two incidents illustrate the dangers associated with sporting activities in the mountains, and the importance of professional rescue teams. The rapid action of the mountain rescue and the Red Cross could have been crucial for the chances of survival of those affected. The mountain rescuers did outstanding work in both cases to save life under extreme conditions.
