Several guardian angels
150-meter fall: German “completely unharmed”
A German (39) probably had several guardian angels on Thursday in St. Leonhard in the Tyrolean Pitztal. The alpinist slipped in the snow and fell 150 meters down a slope. He survived the fall without injury.
The 39-year-old had undertaken a tour to the Watzespitze together with three colleagues. According to the police, the quartet had to pass a steep glacier step on the descent at around 6 pm.
"When the German was the first to enter the steep step, he slipped after a few meters with his crampons on the soft snow and subsequently fell about 100 to 150 meters over the flank," the police said.
The 39-year-old survived the fall completely unscathed.

Ice axe stops fall
The 39-year-old managed to break his fall with the ice axe. As his companions could no longer see him, they made an emergency call.
Miraculously, the man survived the fall "completely unharmed". He was rescued by the rescue helicopter using a rope and flown to the Kaunergrathütte together with his companions.
