Saved by a € 20 bill on fire: that's how a German skier was trapped for six hours last Saturday on a chair lift in the Austrian Alps to 18 degrees below zero was able to attract the attention of the personnel, who rescued. This was reported by the BBC's website . Perhaps tired after a day of skiing, Dominik Podolsky, 22, of Monaco of Bavaria, had decided to go down with the lift, but the sudden closure of the plant left him suspended in the air ten feet off the ground.
He burned everything he had in his pocket, including money - Realizing he had forgotten the phone, skiers began to scream but no one has heard. Meanwhile, down in the evening with the temperature. To warm and attract attention, Podolsky has so ignited with a lighter to the tissues in his pocket, then slips and business cards and then to the € 120 he had left in his wallet. While the young man felt his limbs go into hypothermia, despite attempts to resist the techniques learned during his military service, the flames of the last 20 euro bill has attracted the attention of a team cleaning system.
hospitalized, Podolsky was discharged in the evening . "I thought I'd jump off, but I would have probably broken leg before dying frozen," he said after the bad experience, adding that it is planning to sue the company that manages the resort. A company spokesman, however, has argued that the chair can not be used in descent and that the young man ignored the signs prohibiting entry.
