Lost control
German skier (30) crashes into Stadel without braking
A terrible winter sports accident on Saturday in the Tyrolean Zillertal: a German skier lost control on a steep slope, literally shot out over the piste and crashed with full force into a wooden barn. The man suffered injuries and had to be flown to hospital by emergency helicopter.
The fatal accident occurred on a red-marked slope in the Eggalm ski area in the municipality of Tux. The 30-year-old holidaymaker from Lower Saxony lost control of his skis on the descent, whereupon he skidded over the edge of the slope at "high speed" at the end of a steep slope, the police reported.
The 30-year-old suffered injuries to his back as a result of the collision.
Die Ermittler
A few meters off the slope, the young man then crashed almost unchecked into a wooden pole, which, according to investigators, "was secured with protective pads up to a height of two meters".
To hospital by helicopter
The 30-year-old suffered significant injuries to his back as a result of the violent impact. After initial treatment at the scene of the accident by the piste rescue team, he was flown to the district hospital in Schwaz by the "Alpin5" emergency helicopter.
