A mountain rescue expert died when he asked to dropped from a rope as he dangled beneath a helicopter - only to fall onto a jagged crevasse below.
The rescue chopper had been scrambled to save a 40-year-old climber who'd plunged nearly 150ft down the the precipice on the Grossvenediger mountain range in Austria's East Tyrol.
The 52-year-old expert and two colleagues were being lowered on a harness when freak high winds set in and they asked the pilot to release them instantly.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
