Mission for mountain rescuers
German (69) falls into mountain stream during hike
A mountain tour ended painfully for a 69-year-old German on Sunday in the Tyrolean Zillertal: while crossing a mountain stream, the mountaineer fell and dislocated his shoulder. As a helicopter flight was not possible, the mountain rescue team had to be called out.
According to the police, the German was part of a group of six people who were climbing from the Grüne-Wand-Hütte in the direction of the Kasseler Hütte. While crossing a mountain stream at an altitude of around 1860 meters, it happened: the 69-year-old slipped and fell on his left shoulder.
No helicopter flight possible
"The man suffered a shoulder dislocation," reported the police. As a helicopter flight was apparently not possible due to the weather conditions, Mayrhofen Mountain Rescue was called out. Twelve rescue workers climbed up to the injured man. After first aid, the German was carried with a mountain stretcher along the hiking trail to the mountain rescue car.
In the end, the injured man was handed over to the rescue team, who then took him to Schwaz district hospital. The operation lasted around four hours.
