Fortunately, a colleague from work noticed the accident and raised the alarm. The fire brigade had to rescue the 50-year-old with a crane, and the rescue helicopter was also deployed. He was flown to UKH Graz with injuries of unknown degree.

So far, there is no evidence of third party culpability.
