How does that feel? Not too tight
anywhere? No, it's all right. OVER RADIO:
All right, Iain? Yeah, just leaving the site just now. Probably just myself and Jim,
head down with the gentleman. Over. Thanks, guys! Cheers. The guy was pretty cold
so we just did a quick scoop and run. He's twisted his ankle on the way
down, probably broken his lower leg. And then as he's managed to
arrest his fall, he's still on an area which is
high avalanche risk. And if we had have put additional
people in there, additional loading
on that slope, then it could have triggered
the avalanche. The police had already called
an ambulance so they were waiting. Quick handover
and he's on the way to hospital. I guess people have to take a certain
responsibility for themselves, and that was good. His friends and a couple other people
who went to help, to get him down
to a safe location

The guy was pretty cold
so we just did a quick scoop and run.
00:00:16.084 --> 00:00:21.052
He's twisted his ankle on the way
down, probably broken his lower leg.
00:00:21.052 --> 00:00:24.048
And then as he's managed to
arrest his fall,
00:00:24.048 --> 00:00:28.999
he's still on an area which is
high avalanche risk.
00:00:28.999 --> 00:00:31.088
And if we had have put additional
people in there, additional loading
on that slope,
00:00:31.088 --> 00:00:34.006
then it could have triggered
the avalanche.
00:00:34.006 --> 00:00:36.076
The police had already called
an ambulance

I guess people have to take a certain
responsibility for themselves,
