A woman from Graz was left hanging upside down and injured in a treetop after her paraglider crashed in Bruck an der Mur on Saturday. A hiker saw them and called emergency services. They were taken to hospital by helicopter.
The 33-year-old from Graz may have performed a paragliding flight in the afternoon near the Pischkalm southwest of the Rennfeld (1,629 meters above sea level). Around 5 p.m., a hiker noticed the victim, who was probably stuck upside down in a treetop with her paraglider. He made an emergency call.
After first aid, the woman with injuries of an undetermined nature was taken to the LKH Graz West by the Christophorus 17 rescue helicopter. An Alpine police officer was on duty with eleven members of the Bruck an der Mur and Kapfenberg mountain rescue services and six members of the Bruck an der Mur volunteer fire brigade.
