How safe are summer toboggans?
There have been a number of serious accidents in recent days on Switzerland’s summer luge and toboggan runs. In the worst incident, a Pakistani tourist died after coming off a luge track in Interlaken in the canton of Bern. Two children needed hospital treatment after separate accidents on tracks in the cantons of Lucerne and St Gallen. Heinz-Walter Mathys is a lawyer and chairman of the Swiss Commission for the Prevention of Accidents on snow-sport runs. WRS’s Adam Beaumont spoke to Mathys and began by asking him who is responsible for carrying out safety checks.
