Hänen varjoliidin oli ilmeisesti osunut vielä naispuoliseen työntekijään, joka oli saanut jonkinasteisen niskavamman, mutta ei mitään vakavaa. Tuossa oli lähellä kahden henki mennä.
"The young woman who was hit by the 56-year-old former extreme sportsman's paraglider was not in a serious condition. She was an employee of the resort.
As the fire department confirmed to the Austrian news agency APA, Baumgartner is said to have lost control of a motorized paraglider due to a sudden feeling of discomfort and crashed into the hotel pool.
It is suspected that he lost control of his motorized paraglider due to an attack of weakness. However, a technical failure or a mishap cannot be ruled out either, it was said.
According to the Italian fire department, Baumgartner died instantly. An entertainer at the hotel was also injured in the crash - fortunately not seriously, according to the sports newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport". According to Italian media reports, there were several guests in the pool who witnessed the drama. They remained unharmed, it was reported. It is possible that things could have been even worse."
