Mountain rescue in action
Climber slips and injures his head
On the one hand, a 42-year-old man's via ferrata set probably saved his life on Wednesday, but on the other hand, he injured himself so badly after slipping that the Bad Eisenkappel mountain rescue team had to be called out.
On Wednesday, a 42-year-old climber was on the Koschlak via ferrata near Bad Eisenkappel in fantastic weather. He had already reached the upper third at around 5.41 p.m. when he suddenly slipped.
"He fell into his via ferrata set, but injured his head in the process," reports the Bad Eisenkappel mountain rescue team. When the emergency services arrived, the initial plan was to rescue the man by abseiling down.
"Unfortunately, the man's circulation deteriorated, so the C11 rescue helicopter was requested," said the rescuers. "The 42-year-old was safely rescued from the via ferrata by means of a rope rescue and flown to the UKH Klagenfurt. We would like to take this opportunity to wish him a speedy recovery."
