His helmet broke. Mom provided first aid. The injured man’s mother and members of the piste rescue team provided the boy with first aid. The weather didn’t play along during the rescue by the emergency medical helicopter. Because of the gusty wind, the rescue helicopter was unable to land directly at the scene of the accident.
