Drama in Seefeld
German ski tourer resuscitated after a fall
The ski touring season hasn't really started yet, but there has already been the first dramatic incident. It happened in the Rosshütte ski area in Seefeld, which is currently still closed.
According to initial information, a ski tourer fell in the area of the Kaltwasser lift shortly after 11 a.m. on Saturday. The skier injured himself so badly that he suffered a cardiovascular arrest.
Mountain rescuers happened to be on site
Witnesses raised the alarm and two members of the Seefeld/Reith mountain rescue team happened to be on a private ski tour on the ascent to the mountain rescue service hut in the ski area.
Resuscitation already underway
"When we received the alarm, we immediately skied the 200 meters down to the accident site and saw how witnesses and an Alpine police officer who happened to be there were resuscitating the German," explains mountain rescuer Niklas Haslwanter.
The mountain rescuers then supported the resuscitation measures on the seriously injured man. A short time later, the Christophorus 1 emergency helicopter also arrived at the scene of the accident.
Flown to hospital
The German was finally flown to the hospital in Innsbruck. The police were unable to provide any information about the man's condition.
