More accidents than usual
It is tragic when that happens a death. It is absolutely terrible and stuff you always wish that had not happened, ” says kommunelege in Hemsedal, Harald Lystad.
He tells that it the last few weeks have been more accidents than usual, because even if there is plenty of snow in the trail so it is bare on the outside.
We have had some accidents the last few weeks where people have slipped out of the trail and down in both the heap or stubs. But fortunately we have not had any serious injuries in connection with it, ” explains Lystad and add:
the Problem is that when it is so smooth and the people keep the default speed, if they then fall, as they continue almost to accelerate down the buttocks. You brakes not in the snow that we often do otherwise.
He says that the precautions in the alpine ski resort anyway is the same as in the rest of the year, whatever the conditions.
