Climbed on stone – crash while taking selfie: man seriously injured

Date:

Wanting to take a selfie, a 55-year-old hiker climbed onto a large stone at the Hintersteiner See in Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser (Kufstein district in Tyrol) on Thursday. But the subsequent descent was his undoing.

The German was walking with his partner along the southern shore of Lake Hinterstein on Thursday afternoon when he discovered what should be the ideal selfie spot in a large stone. So the 55-year-old climbed up the rock and took photos.

Seriously injured in fall
But during the descent an accident occurred: when he tried to climb from the large stone onto a smaller one to gain solid ground again, he slipped and fell.

The hiker hit the ground and suffered serious injuries. The rescue helicopter took him to the district hospital in Kufstein.
