29th July Swiss Accidents - Real and Imagined

Brake servicing must play on the mind of the average car owner in Evolene, more than say a resident of the Netherlands. The lack of shrines and memorials on the numerous hairpin bends seems to indicate the Swiss adopt a very ordered approach to vehicle maintenance, like everything else.

Regarding the dangers of mountaineering, only two course members suffered injuries last week; one impaled himself on his crampons when he fell in a crevasse, the other pulled something in his arm after a mishap with the rope.

No fatalities though...
