A busy night
Several tobogganing accidents kept mountain rescuers on their toes
In Bad Hofgastein (Salzburg), the local mountain rescuers had to be called out several times during the night from Friday to Saturday to deal with tobogganing accidents involving injured people. At around 5 p.m., a twelve-year-old who had suffered a torso injury had to be treated.
"We were treating a twelve-year-old local girl with a torso injury when another tobogganing accident happened nearby," says mountain rescue station manager Norbert Trigler. The 25-year-old German suffered head injuries. While he was being treated, the next accident report came in.
Don't forget your helmet
"Most of the toboggan runs are currently in good condition," says Norbert Trigler about the series of serious toboggan injuries, adding: "You are therefore traveling very quickly. But if you fall slightly off the track, then it's usually over."
The mountain rescue service recommends protective equipment such as helmets, good footwear and back protectors. And it was going to be a long night. Around midnight, another twelve-year-old suffered a serious thigh injury and a 25-year-old also suffered leg injuries. Both victims were eventually brought down to the valley together.
