A 21-year-old man from Belgium suddenly became paralyzed by severe fear in the Dolomites on Saturday. According to the Belgian newspaper GVA, the situation was so serious that rescuers deployed a helicopter to evacuate him from the mountain area.

Reportedly, the young man could no longer move or descend independently due to the fear. Details about the exact cause or the location where it happened are missing. However, the source reports that it was a medical emergency requiring immediate assistance.

The Dolomites are a popular destination for hikers and climbers, but the terrain can be challenging. According to experts, fear and stress in remote areas can sometimes lead to physical complaints or panic.
