I had the safety device which is for avalanches which emits waves so that they can find us, thank God I had that and they were able to follow me. They dug me up, my right leg is quite broken, tibia and fibula in three parts, my ankle is broken in several parts and the pelvis too, they activated all the rescue systems by helicopter and took me to the clinic “, did he declare. .
