05 September 2020He struck by the helicopter's blades while it was climbing.
This is how Sergio Francese, 55 years old pinned chosen, special qualification, belonging to the Sagf Station of Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Auronzo Alpine Rescue, died.
The accident on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The man with other colleagues was engaged in joint training between the Veneto Alpine and Speleological Rescue and the Alpine Rescue of the Guardia di Finanza on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The accident occurred during the "hovering" phases of the helicopter from the ledge of the Pyramid, a branch of the Cima Grande.
On the spot, an emergency intervention should have been simulated with lowering of the stretcher on the wall, transport with the Lecco system and experimentation with the localization system of a telephone user.
For reasons that will have to be ascertained by the investigations, however, at the moment of boarding the Frenchman he was hit by the rotor of the aircraft.
The man was immediately rescued by colleagues present on site and by the medical staff of the Aiut Alpin Dolomites in Bolzano who immediately landed on the face.
Unfortunately for Sergio Francese there was nothing to do.
The body was transported downstream and made available to the judiciary.
Many messages of condolence.
