Two dramatic ski accidents: serious injuries in Tyrol!

shocking skiing accidents shook the Tyrolean Unterland last Saturday. In Jochberg, a 14-year-old student lost control of his skis on a downhill on a red slope for unexplained reasons and crashed into a snowmish with full force. The adolescent suffered serious internal injuries and had to be flown to the University Clinic Innsbruck after a emergency medical treatment, as the Krone reported.

Just a few hours later, after dark, another serious accident occurred in the Wildschönau. There, a 52-year-old man drove down the valley downhill despite the locked slopes. At the end of the route he lost control when he drove through a wooden fence and a boundary net and crashed into a snow cannon. In this case too, the provision was decisive for the companion, who could provide first aid. The emergency helicopter also brought the man to the Innsbruck Clinic with injuries to the spine. These two incidents throw a bright light on the dangers of skiing, especially in unfavorable conditions and in protected areas, as piste-maps.co.co.uk reports.
