Skiing accident in Tux: Nine-year-old injured after falling over the edge of the slope
A tragic skiing accident occurred in the Tyrolean ski area of Hintertuxer Glacier on November 15, 2024. A nine-year-old skier from Hamburg was heading downhill on a blue slope during a skiing adventure. At around 1:30 p.m. she was the last of her group to start sweating, but an unfortunate driving error caused her to lose control. The child drove over the edge of the slope and fell from a height of around 20 meters.
When the girl's family noticed that she didn't show up at the valley station as planned, they pulled out all the stops. Full of concern, they took the elevator back towards the possible site of the fall, where they finally found the girl. It was discovered on the slopes, but unfortunately it suffered an injury to its knee.
Rescue and medical care
The situation required immediate action. Paramedics from NAH Alpin 5 were quickly on the scene and provided first aid. The injured girl was treated for unspecified injuries and ultimately flown to the Schwaz district hospital to receive comprehensive care.
Such incidents remind all winter sports enthusiasts how important it is to be safe and careful on the slopes. In this case, rescuing and caring for the girl was time-critical, which is not unusual in Alpine regions. For more information about ongoing coverage of this incident, see the report on www.5min.at.
The ski accident in Tyrol was due to a critical situation that not only affected those directly involved, but also raised awareness of safety measures when skiing. The girl's health stability will certainly be reported in the coming days as the family must take the necessary steps to ensure their daughter receives the best care.
