46-year-old injured
Helicopter operation: paraglider got stuck in a spruce tree
On Sunday morning, a 41-year-old man and his 46-year-old partner got stuck six meters up in a spruce tree in Anger (Weiz district). Their landing approach in a tandem paraglider was unsuccessful and the 46-year-old had to be taken to the LKH by rescue helicopter with injuries of indeterminate severity.
A joint paragliding trip ended badly for a couple in Anger near Weiz. The two Styrians were on a tandem paraglider when the landing approach failed at around 10.15 am. The paraglider got caught in a spruce tree in the Weizer Straße area.
The 41-year-old pilot and his 46-year-old partner were unable to free themselves from their predicament, which is why the Anger volunteer fire department was called out. While the pilot remained uninjured, his wife had to be treated as quickly as possible.
Rescue from a height of six meters
An emergency doctor climbed up to her at a height of six meters to look after her during the rescue. Finally, the Christophorus 12 rescue helicopter transported the 46-year-old to Graz Regional Hospital with undetermined injuries. Further investigations are being carried out by the Hochsteiermark Alpine Police.
