Tragedy on the toboggan run: woman from Regensburg in the event of an accident.

Wildkogel, Österreich - A tragic accident occurred on the emerald toboggan run in the Wildkogel ski area in Austria last Saturday evening. A 29-year-old woman from the Regensburg district resoned during a toboggan run when she came off the slopes and landed on a steep ski slope. The friendly group with which she was on the road quickly noticed that she hadn't arrived in the valley as planned, and alerted the police around 10:30 p.m. href = "https://www.pnp.de/nachrichten/bayern/beruhmte-rodelstrecke-wum-zum-verhaengnis-29-aus-kreis-styrt- amwildkogel-17968897"> PNP reported.

The search, in which 15 mountain rescuers and five police officers were involved, was initially unsuccessful. It was only several hours later, around 1 a.m., that the woman was found lifelessly below the "In the meantime" ski hut. According to reports, she was probably turned wrong and on a dangerous ski slope that was difficult to recognize in the dark. Many people who use this famous toboggan run underestimate the speed that can be reached with a sled. When this happened, it was unclear whether the lighting was still in operation or whether alcohol was in the game, as OE24 reported.

This sad episode throws a shadow on the otherwise popular tobogganing pleasure. The Austria mountain rescue service repeatedly indicates the importance of protective equipment because the terrain away from the toboggan runs can be dangerous. In another incident on the same day in Flachau, a Dutch man also fell off the toboggan run and was seriously injured. Such incidents make it clear how important it is to sled responsibly and take appropriate safety precautions.
