After an avalanche output in the Pitztaler glacier, in which his brother (45) was taken away and seriously injured, a 51-year-old only the risky variant of departure went on and immediately came into an avalanche himself.
On Saturday, a German brothers (45 and 51 years old) undertook different variants in Riffelsee ski area and Pitztaler Glacier. Around noon, both rose from the Pitztaler ski area to Mittagbogel. In addition, they followed an existing climb track and decided to come together in a channel that has not yet been powered.
Snow Board tore man 500 meters away
The 45-year-old was the first to rode a very steep gutter. The 51-year-old followed his brother at a small distance. During the departure, a snowboard avalanche was separate from about 3050 meters above sea level, which caught the 45-year-old German and about 500 meters away.
Offer, to be bound, was rejected
The 51-year-old was able to pull his avalanche airbag, was not buried by the avalanche and immediately started looking for the adjustments, with serious injury to the snow surface and then an emergency call.
The 45-year-old was provided by the crew of the emergency helicopter Martin 8 on the Avalanche Cone and then flown to the clinic in Innsbruck. The unrestrained 51-year-old, to whom the transport by the helicopter was offered, was, however, to go independently to the valley.
After a short intersection of further snowboard
When the helicopter left the scene of the accident, the German continued his journey alone. After a short intersection, he activated another snowboard that it tears about 300 meters. The man was able to pull his avalanche airbag again and was not buried by the snow mass.
Equipment found in the snow again
The 51-year-old was then able to find his ski equipment back in the snow mass and continued his journey to the valley again. He was finally taken to the Valley Station by the Mountain Rescue in Innerpitztal.
