Woman falls while hiking in the Nürnberger Land: air rescuers flew to the scene of the accident by helicopter
According to the findings of the mountain rescue service, the woman fell from a height of 20 meters.
In order to provide her with medical help as quickly as possible, an air rescuer with an ambulance and emergency equipment flew to the base of the wall using a helicopter winch.
Upon arrival, the rescuers found that the woman was seriously injured.
She received immediate medical attention and was pulled up to the helicopter together with an air rescuer in an air rescue bag.
This type of rescue was chosen because the terrain is very steep and greasy and a ground rescue would have taken significantly longer.
The helicopter took her to a Nuremberg clinic for further care.
