“A young Dutch tourist decided to test a cable car without guidance. And with a single hook,” says the fire brigade of the Hemeco emergency zone. “Without a braking system the landing was not optimal. When the ambulance arrived on the scene and saw the condition of the patient in the remote location, it called for medical reinforcements and reinforcements from the Grimp team (Group for Rescues and Interventions in Difficult Places) of the fire brigade.”
Initially it was considered to remove the victim via the Ourthe. The twenty was between the river and the railway, where there was little space and where vehicles could not reach. Finally he was taken away on a stretcher on a narrow path. The Dutchman was transferred to a hospital in the region.
