On the Stuhleck
Serious skiing accidents call for the rescue services
Two serious skiing accidents occurred on Saturday in the Stuhleck ski area in Spital am Semmering. Two Viennese men, aged 50 and 62, were flown by rescue helicopter to hospitals with serious injuries.
At around 09:45 a.m., a 50-year-old man from Vienna was skiing down the Steinbachalm slope towards the valley. Due to a driving error, he probably left the piste and crashed at high speed into a frozen edge of the piste on the left-hand side, which was around 60 centimetres high.
Suffered life-threatening injuries
The 50-year-old suffered serious to life-threatening injuries as a result of the violent impact. Members of the piste rescue team and a surgeon who happened to be present provided the man with initial medical care. He was flown to the hospital in Wiener Neustadt by the C16 rescue helicopter. The Hochsteiermark Alpine Police have begun investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.
Another accident shortly afterwards
At around 12 noon, the rescue helicopter was called out again after a 62-year-old man from Vienna suffered serious injuries. The skier was skiing down the piste (no. 3) towards the valley with his daughter and son. In the process, he crashed without anyone else being involved and the man suffered serious injuries to both arms.
The piste rescue team brought the 62-year-old down to the valley. There he was treated by rescue workers and an emergency doctor and then flown to Graz LKH by the C16 rescue helicopter.
