She fell 300 meters into the depths - and survived the spectacular fall: A snowboarder was rescued after her fall on the Dachstein in Austria by helicopter and flown to a hospital, police said.

The 41-year-old Slovak wanted to go with two companions on free touring terrain downhill. Suddenly she slid with her board, could not brake in time and crashed over rocky terrain into the depths. In the accident, the woman was seriously injured.
