Toboggan accidents in the Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser: Alcohol and no helmets endanger life!

Kufstein, Österreich - A contemplative day in the "Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser" ended in a dramatic hospital visit for three tobogganing Germans. On Monday afternoon, February 3, 2025, around 3:50 p.m., a 26-year-old and a 28-year-old part of a group of eight were when they hit the edge of the toboggan run during their descent and plunged into an adjacent stream for three to four meters. The 28-year-old lost awareness for a short time, as the police reported. Both were immediately taken to the hospital to Kufstein to be medical care after they tragically got into need during a relaxed excursion, such as 5min.at reported.

But the situation was worse when it became known that another tobogganist, a 23-year-old man, had also fallen down. He had hit his head against a wooden gang while driving down with his head and was also briefly passed out. All of these accidents occurred under alarming circumstances: the police found that the tobogganists were obviously alcoholic and did not wear a helmet. This throws a disturbing light on the safety precautions in such leisure activities.

Kufstein hospital offers comprehensive care

The injured were brought to the Kufstein district hospital for treatment, which is considered one of the most modern health centers in the country. The hospital offers a wide range of specialist areas and, with over 1,300 employees, ensures comprehensive medical care, as shown on your website. In addition to the current emergency care of the tobogganists, numerous information events and therapy options are also available. The persons responsible for the hospital emphasize the importance of effective treatment and close cooperation with general practitioners in order to be able to help the patient in the best possible way, which appears all the more relevant in view of the recent incidents, such as bkh-kufstein.at reported.
