A boy (11) died on Tuesday in the Wagrain ski area in Salzburg after losing control of his skis on a black slope and breaking the safety network and crashed into a hut. The Wagrainer Bergbahnen now wants to evaluate the security measures.
What happened on the black slope on Tuesday with number 15 in the Wagrain ski area left deep tracks. “We are deeply affected and cannot put it into words. Our thoughts and the deepest sympathy are with the family, “says Simon Guggi, spokesperson for the Mountain Railways. It is a difficult situation for everyone – especially for the relatives. The family from Lower Austria on holiday in Wagrain – there is currently still a semester break in the eastern federal states.
The accident passed on the “poison decrease” in the morning. The boy ski with his father when he rode the difficult route for experienced athletes with a gradient of 65 percent. He lost control, broke through a barrier work and poured a hut.
Pisters managed to resuscitate the boys on the site. A lifelike helicopter quickly brought the seriously injured child to the University Hospital of Salzburg. There, however, the eleven -year -old collapsed with his injuries. The crisis intervention team from the Red Cross provided eyewitnesses, family members and other affected people.
Well, a day later there are questions about security. The fact is: at the start of the slopes called “Gift Descent”, a sign indicates the danger. “So far there have been no accidents,” Guggi emphasizes, referring to security measures such as the plug-in network, a knowledge board and the delay sign. The mountain railways announce an evaluation.
