Where I live if you fall and injure yourself on an established hiking/climbing route, in season, you will be rescued for free (regular ambulance rides are free anyway).

If you climb or hike off track, out of season you might be charged for a helicopter ride or mountain rescue. As you can imagine it's not cheap.

what in tarnation

That should be on case in all of Europe (in Germany and Italy for sure). It's covered but your insurance as long as there is an emergency. So you can't just use the ambulance as a taxi, then you would be billed the whole amount.
I was only once in an ambulance in the past 30 years or so. There, my insurance came to me afterwards and wanted a 10€ share. For some reason I found this infuriating. (Germany)
Still the same, got that bill a week ago.
