Fatal leisure accident on Saturday afternoon in Scharnitz (Tyrol) in Tyrol: In a freestyle park, a 15-year-old Tyrolean could not leave the landing area immediately after a jump due to the slipperiness. Another snowboarder misinterpreted the warning signs, jumped over the hill and collided with the youth.
The 15-year-old’s father wanted to warn the other snowboarders and skiers that his son was still in the landing area with loud shouts and hand gestures.
Calling and drawing misunderstood
Another jumper, unable to see this area, misunderstood the signs and started jumping with his snowboard.
Serious collision
And then it happened: “After landing, the 25-year-old Italian collided with the teenager, sustaining injuries to his shoulder,” police said. After first aid on site, the young resident was flown by emergency helicopter to the Innsbruck clinic.
