Bicyclist harmed while traversing mountains close to Almaty

In the picturesque landscape of Zailiisky Alatau, a dramatic rescue operation was initiated by the BAU control and rescue post after a young man sustained injuries while mountain biking.

The incident, reported by Liter.kz, left the cyclist unable to move independently, and a hand injury with suspicion of a fracture was confirmed. The rescue team, equipped for the mission, dispatched from the BAU control and rescue post was a specialized mountain rescue unit of five personnel.

Within an hour, the rescuers managed to lower the injured individual to the eco-post, where a rapid medical assistance team took over. Fortunately, the individual's condition is reported as satisfactory, although no further information is provided about their current state.

It is worth noting that a landslide in the same region has been reported earlier, but it remains unclear if this incident is related to the one involving the mountain biker.

Despite the challenges posed by the rugged terrain, the BAU rescue team successfully executed the operation, ensuring the safety of the injured cyclist. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety measures when engaging in outdoor activities.
