Mountain rescue and emergency helicopters were deployed on the Feuerkogel plateau late on Monday afternoon after a woman from Linz had an accident with her paraglider. The woman had taken off from the northern launch site at an altitude of around 1,600 metres in the late afternoon, but had problems shortly after take-off. For unknown reasons, the woman from Linz fell around 30 metres and came to rest on extremely steep terrain interspersed with mountain pines.
