The same day, two other people were seriously injured in separate accidents at mountain bike parks in the same region.
The other two injured are a 51-year-old man from the German city of Lemgo and a 61-year-old man from Werneuchen, Germany. Two of the accidents took place in Bikepark Winterberg and one in Bikepark Schmallenberg-Gellinghausen.
The mountain bike parks are both located in Hochsauerlandkreis, the highest part of the Sauerland. The state concerned, North Rhine-Westphalia, is located next to the Dutch border.
