Boy falls from chair lift: ski instructor is still trying to hold him
Last Friday, the six-year-old climbed the chairlift with his ski instructor and another child.
He is said to have been unable to get completely into the seat and close the bar.
The ski instructor tried to draw the lift staff's attention to the situation by shouting loudly.
However, according to police, this was unsuccessful.
At first the woman was able to hold on to the boy, but then he fell out of the elevator.
The police then launched an investigation.
The focus was on the question of why the lift employee had not noticed the situation.
Anyone who witnessed the accident can contact the police.
