For 28 years, Torsten Kleint worked as a police officer for the state of Baden-Württemberg, including in the SEK (special task force), as a squad leader, operational trainer (defense and access techniques), platoon leader of an alarm unit and finally as a police superintendent.
After a near-fatal paragliding accident in which he suffered severe injuries to his entire body, he was confined to a hospital bed and wheelchair for several months. At that time, it was unclear whether Torsten would ever be able to walk again, continue his job as a police officer and continue his long-awaited mountain guide training.
After years of strenuous training and numerous operations, Torsten Kleint was restored to such an extent that he was able to pursue his passions for mountaineering, martial arts and paragliding again, despite some minor remaining physical limitations.
