Serious injuries to tobogganing: police warn of self -overestimation!

In a dramatic toboggan accident in Lower Austria, a 14-year-old teenager was seriously injured. According to information from Today. At high speed, she raced against a barrier and contracted considerable injuries. The emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 3" brought the seriously injured youngsters to the Landesklinikum Wiener Neustadt.

Particularly alarming: The girl was on the road without a helmet at the time of the accident. The police emphasize that self -overestimation often leads to such incidents. Last year there were 20 tobogganing accidents at Semmering alone around the turn of the year. As reports noe.orf.at , many tobogganists are often poorly equipped and sometimes only go on the slopes in sneakers. The authority urges the security of the athletes and calls for responsible equipment in the exercise of tobogganing.
