wally Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 was surfing the web and saw a video of a rescue gone terribly wrong. It looked like the rescue rope broke sending a rescuer and I presume injured climber falling a really long way does anyone know if either of the two survived?www.ebaumsworld.com what an awful site Quote
Off_White Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 If it's that one from Spanish television, I think remarkably they did live. I think it was an anchor failure rather than a rope breaking. It's a real gut churner of a vid clip though, a link was posted quite awhile ago. I don't need to see it again. Quote
wally Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 Yeah thats the one. your right about not wanting to see it again. amazing that they lived. Quote
Stemalot Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 I wanna see I wanna see...but I can't find the video on their website? Someone point me there? Thanks Quote
ketch Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Wally, I remember that one. Disturbing, what was worse I seem to recall that it was a mountain rescue training excercise. They had stableized the "victim" and then during the evac the helicopter had trouble. The crew chief cut the cable rather than lose the chopper. I heard somewhere that both persons are still involved in rescue work. That's some big cajones. Quote
