Rescue drama in Tyrol: Hiker falls and pulls helpers into the depths!
On Saturday afternoon, around 5:20 p.m., there was a worrying incident in the Tyrolean mountains above the Innsbruck district of Kranebitte, in which a 23-year-old tourist from Germany came into an emergency. The young woman had strayed in the difficult terrain. A 29-year-old Tyrolean and his 27-year-old companion from Denmark noticed the precarious situation, tried to make an emergency call to call help.
In an unfortunate course, the tourist fell towards the hiking trail, trying to catch her fall, but was torn away. In a desperate attempt to record the two, the Danish companion also fell into the depth. Fortunately, all three people got stuck in the bushes and suffered only minor injuries so that the emergency teams could intervene faster.

Also on May 26th there was a tragic mountain accident on the Rimpfischhorn in the Valais Alps, where five ski tourers were found dead. The increase in such incidents raises questions about security when hiking.mountain accidents in context
In order to illustrate the dangers in the mountains and the increasing number of rescue operations, another incident should be mentioned: On May 1, a 54-year-old alpinist at the Großglockner fell 200 meters into depth after getting out with his crampons on the ascent. The man was found seriously injured and his tour partner was able to quickly communicate the rescue workers. These incidents make it clear that even experienced mountaineers are not immune to accidents and that the challenges that the mountains bring with them are often underestimated.
The security situation in the Alps remains tense, and rescue workers and mountain guides appeal to hikers, always well prepared and careful, especially in changeable weather conditions and difficult terrain conditions. Inadequate equipment can have fatal consequences.
