Accident in forest ropes course: trainer falls and is taken to hospital
The 20-year-old trainer came to the aid of a child on the eight-meter-high course on Saturday. When she tried to rappel back down to the ground with the now too short rope, she couldn't see the end of the rope from above. She suffered serious injuries to both wrists and was taken to hospital. The Füssen police station has started an investigation into bodily harm and damage to property and is asking for information from witnesses.
