On Thursday afternoon the alarm bells with Waterdring and a fire brigade on Lake Attersee – a kayak driver had come into need. When they arrived, a fisherman had already saved the ship’s wake. At the last minute: The Water Athlete was clearly hypothermic and had no protective equipment with it.
As soon as the weather is beautiful enough, the athletes go to nature. A water friend had to find out on Thursday afternoon that summer is still far away. As the ORF reported, he was cut at the Attersee about 200 meters from the coast with his kayak, where he drove for about half an hour in seven degrees of cold water.
Saved by fishermen
Fortunately, passers -by have observed the accident and the rescue chain started. Before the emergency services arrived, the accident was saved by a fisherman who was nearby. The Red Cross had to be consulted because the athlete had already cooled that it was hardly accessible.
Very hypothermic
Moreover, it soon became clear that the kaya captain did not wear a life jacket or a neoprene or a similar protective suit. He was taken to the hospital after Vöcklabruck.
