A tragic incident occurred in Sydney's Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, where an abseiler lost his life after falling off a cliff. The authorities were alerted when a call came in at 12:30 pm, reporting the accident at a popular picnic spot on the Duckholes Trial in Terry Hills. The man, believed to be in his 40s, had fallen around 20 meters into the water below.
Firefighters and paramedics immediately rushed to the scene, where they found the man's body. With the help of ropes, the firefighters were able to retrieve the body from the water. However, despite their best efforts, the man could not be revived. FRNSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry described the situation as "confronting," especially for the group of people, including young individuals, who had witnessed the tragedy.
Superintendent Dewberry also highlighted the danger that the firefighters faced in their rescue mission. They had to rappel down the cliff to reach the victim and bring him to safety. The victim's identity has not been confirmed yet, and the national park had to be evacuated while emergency operations were underway.
The accident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with activities like abseiling and the importance of safety precautions. The authorities are still investigating the incident to determine the cause of the fall. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time.
