Shock moment for countless skiers on Saturday in the Glungezer -ski area near Innsbruck: The carrying rope was eradicated during a tow lift! It opened on the ground – at least a winter athlete was hit. At the time of the incident, 40 people were on the elevator.
The dangerous incident took place on Saturday shortly before 1 p.m. The “calm” of the tow lift was affected. The support rope was torn out of support 1, after which it crashed to the ground.
Helmet by man badly damaged
“At the time of the accident, around 40 people were on the tow lift. According to earlier investigations, a 64-year-old Austrian was hit by the load-bearing rope, but supposedly not injured. He refused to investigate a hospital. His helmet was badly damaged, “the police say.
The 40 affected winter sports enthusiasts were brought by the elevator staff to the “Halsmart” center station with various snowmobiles. Everyone got away with the horror.
Lift bracket on the basic rope reversed
How can the dangerous incident take place? “The earlier studies have shown that shortly before support 1 a lift bracket was probably thrown up and that it wrapped over the carrying rope. The lift bracket should have been stuck on the basic rope, “the investigators describe the police.
Further research into action
As a result, the so -driven “roll -battery” was torn from support 1 -it then became 180 degrees. “For example, the so -called supported rope cup shoe was lifted and the carrying rope fell on the ground. Further investigations are underway, “said it.
