In an unfortunate incident, a six-year-old child was seriously injured in a climbing accident at a climbing hall located in Dachau on Thursday morning. The boy was taken to a Munich hospital by ambulance, and according to the police, his condition is not currently life-threatening.
The accident occurred around 11 am at a climbing wall in the Dachau climbing hall. The child fell from over ten meters high during the climbing activity. The reason for the child's fall from such a height is currently unknown.

The Dachau police station has dispatched a specialist officer trained for climbing accidents to investigate the incident. The officer is investigating the course, cause, and background of the accident.
Safety measures and precautions for children climbing in indoor climbing halls include proper padding and flooring, adult supervision, secure equipment and holds, climbing rules and protocols, progressive height and difficulty levels, instruction and training, use of appropriate clothing, designated climbing areas, and spotting techniques. These measures are key to minimizing fall injuries for children in indoor climbing gyms.
The police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact the Dachau police station. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be provided as they become available.
Despite the ongoing investigation into the six-year-old's climbing accident, it's important to note that general-news doesn't always equate to tragic incidents.
