Vacation dream ends in horror: German dies after tobogganing accident!

Rohrmoos, Österreich - A tragic incident ended a vacation trip of a 41-year-old German in Styria, more precisely in Rohrmoos. The man succumbed to his injuries on February 21, 2025, two weeks after a serious tobogganing accident. According to the first reports published by OE24.at, the vacationer had tried to catch up with a stray sled on February 7 when he crashed into the rim of around 40 centimeters. At that time the ski slope was closed to tobogganing and the man was not wearing a helmet, which in this case contributed to the seriousness of the injuries.

Around 9:30 p.m., when they wanted to use their tobogganing, a sled suddenly went down the valley and the men took the persecution. While they grown down the slopes not intended for tobogganing, the serious impact occurred. A 38-year-old ski tourer discovered the accident man and immediately provided first aid before the rescue workers were alerted, as reported by Krone.at. The injured person was immediately flown to the Salzburg accident hospital with a rescue helicopter.
