Fortunately, rescue workers in Carinthia are not called in for such an accident every day: a drunken pensioner did not hit the bush with his chainsaw, but his nurse while gardening. The woman was seriously injured, the “Alko-Säger” had to go to court.
“It was not a good idea to be drunk with a chainsaw,” sighs Judge Sabine Götz as the repentant defendant sits down before her in Klagenfurt’s regional court. “Yes,” the 61-year-old agrees. On the day of the accident, the pensioner had chirped “two, three beers and two, three bodyguards” and then wanted to cut down his hazelnut trees at an impressive 1.26 per mille. By his side his faithful nurse, who had to help him. “The chainsaw came for me,” the man says.

The woman standing next to him was seriously injured. “Fortunately she is now healthy again”, the Upper Carinthian is relieved. “I’m very sorry, but luckily the nurse and I still get along very well.”
The woman continues to work for him, and they came to the trial together in harmony. That is why the sentence for the impeccable and repentant “Alko-Saeger” is quickly and fairly light: three months probation plus 2000 euros fine for negligent bodily harm.
