Ladder slips away, pensioner falls down stairs
Rescue helicopters had to be deployed to two accidents in Tyrol on Monday. In Fügen in the Zillertal, a worker (36) fell two meters from a ladder. Meanwhile, the stairs in a residential building in Lermoos (Reutte district) were the undoing of a pensioner (90).
The accident occurred at around 2.30 pm. The 36-year-old wanted to climb a ladder onto a storage area on a company site in Fügen. "The ladder slipped and the man fell around two meters to the ground," said the police. A work colleague set the rescue chain in motion.
The seriously injured man was flown to Innsbruck Hospital by rescue helicopter.
After the landing of the staircase, the man fell down the remaining eight stairs.
