Reports in the media suggest that from the time of the incident, he had Paramedics on scene within 2 minutes, a HEMS crew on scene in 8 minutes and was in hospital 10 minutes later. (if anyone can clarify those times please do)
Is it normal practice for the helicopter shut down on a ski slope?
In the image below it is hard to be sure that the rotors are not running, the tips appear softer than the root.
For the paramedics to move across the snow make an assessment and presumably fit a neck brace then stretcher patient back to helicopter, depart scene and land at hospital all within 10 minutes is fast work.
