German Woman, 29, Dies in Sledding Accident in Austria

A 29-year-old from Bavaria was found dead after a sledding accident, with another serious incident reported nearby involving a Dutch man.

A 29-year-old woman from the Regensburg area died while sledding in Bramberg am Wildkogel, Austria, on Saturday night.
Her friends called for help when she did not return to the valley, and her body was found 200 meters below a ski hut at the edge of a piste.
The exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear, and local authorities are investigating.
In a separate incident in Flachau, approximately 100 kilometers away, a Dutch man was seriously injured after sliding into a forest and falling over a rocky ledge.
According to ADAC data, sledding accounts for nearly half of winter sports injuries, with head trauma being a frequent outcome, prompting safety recommendations for helmet use.
