On February 28, the rescuers of the Slavic search and rescue group on the ski track of Vysoky Verkh provided help to an injured skier, born in 1990, from the city of Kyiv. The woman suffered an injury to her left leg.
Rescuers provided first aid to the victim and lowered the injured to the foot of the mountain, where they handed over to medics for further assistance.
The main administration of the State Emergency Service in the Lviv region reminds about the rules of safe skiing on ski slopes:
• follow a safe speed that will give you time for an additional maneuver to avoid a collision;
• do not abuse alcoholic beverages while skating, because the reaction time decreases many times;
• wear protective equipment;
• do not drive off the tracks.
Remember that in places of mass skiing from the mountains, an inept and, most importantly, undisciplined skier is a serious danger to others!
