Shock on the ski slope: Dramatic accidents in Tyrol's winter sports paradise!

Last weekend a number of serious skiing accidents occurred on the slopes in Tyrol. In Sölden there was a collision between a 41-year-old Irish skier and an unknown snowboarder in Sölden at around 12 p.m. The snowboarder crashed from the side against the skier, which injured both falls and the Irish skier on the right shoulder. The person who caused the accident apologized and left the scene of the accident without announcing his identity, as reported.

Just 30 minutes later, another accident occurred on the same slope when a 32-year-old Polish snowboarder collided with a 38-year-old Indian skier. At this crash, the Indian skier contracted indefinite injuries to the knee joint. In the afternoon, at 4:48 p.m., there was another incident in the Obergurgl ski area, in which a 49-year-old German snowboarder and a 55-year-old German skier plunged into a ditch. The skier had to be flown to the Innsbruck helicopter with the helicopter after injuring the cervical spine.

seriously injured among the top athletes

In the last 15 days, however, not only amateurs, but also big names of skiing, including several world champions and Olympic champions such as Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt, have suffered heavy falls. These accidents come together in a season without winter games or world championships and are related to an overloaded racing calendar, such as "https://apnews.com/article/shiffrin-kilde-vlhova-ki-krashes-3e482cb0a425478320e19f8df3" reported. Schiffrin, for example, fell during a downhill run in Cortina and was able to avoid even serious injuries. Her teammate Kilde suffered a serious cut and nerve injuries and had to be operated on.

These incidents illustrate the dangers of skiing and raise questions about the safety of the athletes, especially in view of the discussions about cutting -resistant underwear, which should possibly be made mandatory. The athletes themselves also demand larger security measures to prevent as many injuries as possible.
