title: [Medicolegal aspects of mountain rescue for the emergency physician and personnel].
abstract: The remarkable spread and growth of mountain sports, as well as of their unfortunate succession of injuries sometimes give rise to medico-legal problems which up to now have been dealt with only in a very little number of publications. We discuss here briefly the main problems of setting up and organising the first aid and rescue squads and the resulting legal responsibility the health and medical staff may be exposed to.
