Rescue in the cave: Man without gratitude causes confusion!

Von WOM

in Wallgau, in the shadow of the impressive mountains, the mountain rescue kit Krün was called for an explosive effort at the weekend. A large number of events started when a walker who was traveling behind the water management institute heard supposed calls to help from the forest and then informed the police. A local official quickly found that the noises could come from the Angerlloch, an active water cavity. Due to the dangerous weather conditions with persistent rain, the mountain rescue was alerted to see the right.

at 6:30 p.m. a team of five set out to check the Situation. Some of the emergency services went to the lower access of the cave, which was not accessible due to water. The other part chose the upper access and encountered a group consisting of a man, a woman and four children between the ages of 6 and 14 in the cave stream bed. Everyone was well equipped, which initially brought a little relief.

frustration and incomprehension at the place of use

The rescuers not only had to secure the exhausted ones, but also help them through narrow passages and over slippery rocks. The behavior of the man, who described himself as an experienced Berger, was surprised. Hannes Mikenda, deputy standby manager, noted that the man looked anything but safe when relegation. Despite his alleged experience, he slipped several times and had difficulty getting down the rocks.

When the group finally reached the car, the focus was no longer on gratitude. While the woman and the children showed visible relief, the man stubbornly refused to state his personal details. For him, it hardly seemed to be a problem to be in rainy weather with the children in a water -bearing cave. His statement to the emergency services that he had taken precautionary measures seemed particularly strange: his butt stated that his son should alert the mountain rescue service if they could not report until 11 p.m.

after -effects of use

The three -hour rescue operation was not yet complete after reaching the car. The mountain rescue guard had to do with the elaborate cleaning of its device and material. The Alpine operational group of the police took care of the situation to determine the identity of the participants and, if necessary, invoice the costs of the operation.

The next day the man then contacted the officials and described his view of things. He made it clear that he considered himself a capable guide for the group and had not had any rescue needs. Officials pointed out him to inform the mountain rescue service in order to clarify the matter and at least to express his thanks for the help they had achieved. However, it remained to be seen whether he would follow this advice.

The situation raises questions about responsibility and gratitude in the face of dangers in nature. While the mountain rescue is always ready to provide help in emergencies, they occasionally face the lack of understanding and respect on the part of those affected. As the incident in the Angerlloch and the reaction of the man show, such operations are not only challenging in the implementation, but also give human aspects to light that must be reflected.
