Exactly.
We have no kangaroos because they would bounce cross border with the next leap <G>
But still a lot of people get lost here, mostly because they lose the path and get stuck in steep slopes or cliffs.
We have a highly developed rescue system, all ground people volunteers (add in some helicopters from police and road emergency), and usually its free and health insurance will pay the copter.
In addition to the fact that cell reception covers most of Austria (including most mountain ranges) rescuers are pretty busy all year round. Read: All too often tired/scared hikers/climbers misuse the rescue system.
There has been one famous "lost" story here in the mid-80ties when an American Germany-based military member named Kenneth T. Cichowicz took a multi-day hike over several mountain ranges in an off-season time.
He fell and broke his hand, leg and cracked some ribs and got stuck in a very odd place down a glacier high up the mountain near here. Nobody knew about his going, and only when he didn't come back from his leave ~2 weeks later he was missed - but still nobody had any idea where he really was, so they were looking in a 200km distant range, and skipped the futil search after many days.
Aside of the off-season there still were some people, snow machines, helicopters and the like around his place at times, but nobody would notice his tent in this very odd place, and he had no ways to make note of himself.
Only after 19 days of suffering, already half-dead, he was found and got rescued.
His case became pretty famous at times because he had done most everything perfectly right as far as it comes to survival (he did some not-so-perfect things that led to the accident though).
