Woman slipped away – 18-year-old hit by toboggan in Tyrol: injured

A German woman (18) lost a toboggan in Ramsau on Thursday and then “went into business for herself”. An 18-year-old was injured while trying to stop the toboggan. He was taken to Schwaz Hospital by rescue helicopter.

An 18-year-old German was hit in the left knee and injured on Thursday afternoon in a field in Ramsau in the Tyrolean Zillertal by a toboggan that had become self-employed. The toboggan slipped away from a fellow countrywoman of the same age as she walked across the snow-covered field to get to a toboggan run. As a result, the vehicle slid down the approximately 20 degree steep field and hit the German, who tried to catch it with his hand. First aided by piste rescue. The young man had been traveling around 100 meters below. He was given first aid on the spot by the piste rescue team. The 18-year-old was then flown to Schwaz Hospital by rescue helicopter.
