The fourteen-year-old girl did not manage the field trip in Jeseníky on Thursday in the early evening. “Upon arrival, we found out that the impact probably caused a severe concussion, even though she had a safety helmet. In addition, she suffered abrasions on her face and other injuries,” said Martin Chalupa, a member of the Mountain Service, who took the girl to the hospital by helicopter.
A 50-year-old man was injured during the convention on Friday. “The situation in the accident was probably similar to yesterday. The man did not manage the terrain unevenness during the descent. He also wore a helmet, and yet he suffered not only a collarbone fracture but also a concussion,” Chalupa added on Friday. .
In summer, due to the interest of cyclists, the Jeseníky Mountains burst at the seams. Especially popular are cyclotrial tracks. According to the head of the Jesenice mountain service Vítězslav Kaller, many riders are inexperienced and do not follow safety recommendations. He warned that despite the use of helmets in risky driving, cyclists could seriously injure their head and be life-threatening.
