Accidents in German climbing gyms 2020, by discipline
In 2020, a total of 89 accidents involving rescue services were recorded in climbing gyms in Germany. Most of these accidents occurred whilst bouldering, while the rescue service was called in 32 cases involving roped climbing. As many of the climbing walls across Germany were episodically closed throughout this period due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) containment measures, the number of accidents that were recorded during this period is likely to be considerably lower than that of a normal year.
