A hiker was recently saved from a perilous situation where he slipped down a treacherous cliff face. The incident took place on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula, about 54 kilometers south of Adelaide. It was a race against time for emergency services to reach the hiker and carry out a delicate rescue operation.
The call for help came in at around 2:15 pm, reporting that the hiker had fallen about ten meters. The situation was dire as the cliff beneath him crumbled, leaving him hanging on by just one arm. Fortunately, the rescuers were able to reach him in the nick of time and bring him to safety.
The whole ordeal was captured on the emergency radios, revealing the desperation of the situation. The hiker was struggling to hold on as his strength waned. One of the rescuers could be heard on the radio saying, "The male is cramping. He's got a single foot hold on the far left and struggling to hold on, over."
The cliff face is located at the end of a dirt road north of Myponga Beach. There is a holiday property nearby, but it is unclear where the hiker came from. The remote location initially caused some confusion for the rescue teams. Multiple ambulance crews, the State Emergency Service, Country Fire Service volunteers, and specialist Star Group rescue experts were all called in to assist with the rescue.
It took a whole hour before the rescue team could finally reach the hiker, who was clinging onto the edge of the cliff. Carefully, they made their way over the edge and were able to bring him to safety. Due to the location and terrain, the only option was to manually lift the hiker up into a rescue helicopter. This was done with great care, as the slightest mistake could have blown him off the cliff face.
In the end, the hiker was rescued and brought to safety. It was a dramatic and intense rescue operation, but thanks to the quick response and expertise of the emergency services, the hiker's life was saved. Incidents like these serve as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who put their lives on the line to rescue others in need.
