Broken femur

The young hiker slipped on a patch of ice. He then fell about thirty meters, breaking his femur in his fall.

Survival blanket

He was fortunately accompanied by a friend who had the right reflexes that allowed him to be saved. The victim's relative protected him with a survival blanket. He then went to look for a network to contact the emergency services.

Several hours of searching

Seven CRS, two doctors, two gendarmes from the high mountain gendarmerie platoon (PGHM) and three firefighters were mobilized to rescue the hiker, the continuous news channel details.

The searches took place in difficult weather conditions. After several hours, the injured twenty-something was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Gap.
