In the city of Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, a woman fell from a bike pedestrian bridge over the Brenz River around 9 am yesterday. According to the Ulm Police Headquarters, the woman injured her back during the fall.

The Ulm Police Headquarters has initiated an investigation alongside the Giengen police, and the identity of the victim has not been disclosed publicly. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures when cycling.

Falls while cycling can result in severe or even fatal injuries, a fact that underscores the necessity of taking precautions. The Ulm Police Headquarters is urging cyclists to wear helmets as part of their campaign "Protect Your Best!", a joint initiative with safety partners aimed at promoting cyclist safety.

The right protection can potentially prevent or significantly reduce the consequences of falls while cycling. The action encourages cyclists to prioritise their safety and wear helmets to minimise the risk of injury.

The e-bike involved in the incident appears to have sustained no damage, but the severity of the woman's injuries remains unclear. The rescue service transported her to a hospital for treatment.

Falls in road traffic, even with careful behaviour, cannot be completely eliminated. This incident highlights the need for cyclists to remain vigilant and take necessary safety precautions.
