A Villacher (32) slipped in rough terrain on Thursday after assessing storm damage in a forest plot in the municipality of St. Jakob im Rosental. The man fell about 80 meters down.
The Villacher was on the forest plot around 12.45 when the accident happened. The storm made the steep, impassable terrain very slippery. That was the downfall of the man. He slipped, fell about 80 meters and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he himself was able to call a friend nearby via the mobile phone.
The 49-year-old friend immediately started the rescue chain. After first aid from the emergency doctor and the ambulance crew, the 32-year-old was removed from the steep terrain by the fire brigade and the mountain rescue service with the help of a shovel basket stretcher and handed over to the crew of the C11. rescue helicopter. The seriously injured were flown to the LKH Villach.
