Caught in the Eye: Key West Native’s Epic Survival at Sea

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις June 14, 2024 by Daniel Levesque

At one point, after taking multiple 4-foot breaking waves over the bow, center, and stern, we hit a wave that lifted the entire boat out of the water, leaving us airborne for what felt like an eternity, though it was probably only 3-4 seconds. For the first time in my offshore career, we were completely at the mercy of the sea, immobile and helpless.

Rain and Wind Test Hikers on Stewart Island, Helicopter Rescue Ensues

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις June 3, 2024 by Sariska

As we started to move faster along the beach, using a hiking pole each for stability, my brother saw me disappear over a line of boulders on the beach. About two minutes later, he found me lying face down in the rocks. I recall waking up with my head jammed between two boulders, bleeding from the scalp and temple, with a hole in my trousers.

Surviving South Canyon: A Fractured Wrist, a Beacon, and a Lifesaving Helicopter Rescue

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις May 16, 2024 by Diane

Despite being highly experienced off-trail hikers, this was one of the toughest hikes we've ever done. The initial part of the "trail," which we had to follow back to the rim the day after the incident occurred, was extremely challenging. On the way in, it took us 2 hours to descend maybe 1 mile of trail with a 1000-foot vertical drop. It included numerous Class 4 climbing moves, where any slip could have been fatal

Family's Relief as Beacon Signals Safe Return of Lost Hikers

The day started beautifully, with clear skies and no indication of inclement weather until around 4:00 p.m. By 5:30 p.m., we hadn't heard from the boys, so we decided to head to the park where they were hiking to see if we could find them. When we arrived at the trailhead around 6:00 p.m., we were greeted by steady rain and darkening skies. Just then, I received a phone call from provincial SAR—they had activated the beacon.

Beacon Call Saves Life: Dramatic Rescue on a Quiet Day in the Saddle

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις April 12, 2024 by Dyan

I’ve had a few falls over the years off horses, so I knew to expect the initial pain and shock of hitting the ground, then usually you just lie for a minute or two after being winded and get back on your horse. The pain didn’t go away, only intensified, and it was agony to breathe.

Fog, Fear, and Rescue: A Heroic Hiker's PLB Activation

When I descended at around 7 pm, I saw someone lying in the grass 10 meters next to the trail. I was confused and approached him. Then I saw his serious head injuries, assuming he slipped somewhere and fell badly.

Rapid Response: The Heroic Efforts Behind a Wilderness Rescue Mission

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις March 14, 2024 by Holly

Walking through Pam's Path, a narrow track with loose stones, Holly stepped over a large rock, causing her left foot to slip sideways down the slope. Hearing a crack and feeling pain immediately, she knew her ankle was in trouble. With no way for Mal and Isy to assist her on the narrow path, and Holly unable to put any weight on her injured foot, we utilized walkie-talkie contact with Rebecca, our host at Kawakawa Station. Rebecca phoned 111, and upon advice, we set off our ResQLink 400 PLB as we were in a location requiring a helicopter rescue.

As we ascended, things got snowy, and we realized we were in over our heads. Blind optimism turned into a realization that we were on steep snowy slopes above bluffs.

Suddenly, my sister stumbled, injuring her thigh. Assuming it was minor, we pressed on, only for her to fall again, this time hitting her head. She lost consciousness briefly, followed by bouts of nausea and vomiting.
