Falls from a rope

Jungle fun ended in hospital for woman

She wanted to play Tarzan, but the fun turned into a flight to hospital. A 21-year-old woman fell backwards from a swinging rope onto a rootstock during a company outing at Gleinkersee.

A 21-year-old woman from the Vöcklabruck district suffered injuries of indeterminate severity during a company outing. The woman was with other employees at Gleinkersee in Roßleithen and wanted to jump into the lake with a swinging rope. While swinging, however, she could no longer hold on to the rope and fell backwards from two to three meters onto a rootstock at the edge of the shore. The injured woman was flown to Wels Hospital by rescue helicopter.
