This rescue occurred on April 17, 2024 at the 8700 foot level of the Pacific Crest Trail in Riverside County California. This male hiker who is from Europe, fell and sustained a dislocated shoulder. Subfreezing temperatures were forecasted overnight, and this became a contributing factor to deciding that he needed to be hoisted out to the hospital. folks please remember, most agencies will not charge you if you have to be rescued.

You may have been the guy(s) who rescued my gf and I on Dripping Springs in 95 degree heat last year. Truly owe you guys a few 6 packs and a meal, we made a grave mistake on that run by not bringing enough water and the rescue team treated us kindly, professionally and with grace. It did not cost us anything for our mistake. Thanks for what y'all do, wish I could get involved to give back.

I witnessed a rescue like this after stumbling upon an injured mountain biker near Ramona, CA some years ago. Poor guy had a fractured pelvis and was going into shock. Lucky we got a weak cell signal and Cal Fire showed up lickety-split and plucked him right up. I remember being on the phone with dispatch while the helicopter was heading to our general direction. The pilot hadn't seen us yet and dispatch asked if we can see the helicopter and if they're on course. I was like, "yeah but I think we're at more like their ten o'clock" and boom the pilot turned and headed right at us. Blew my mind.

Nice that they let the hiker take his pack up. I've seen other ones where they have to leave it with the people on the ground. Some of those packs can have thousands of dollars of equipment in them.

Here in Scotland if anyone hiked around in shorts and running shoes when there’s snow on the ground the local cops would detain you under the mental health act for your own safety.

I was an AE in the Navy, one of my helicopters made an emergency landing on a LPH. Myself and a Mech were selected to go fix it. We were briefed about a "personnel transfer". I vaguely comprehended what was going to happen. We go to the ship fast and the aircrewman told me to sit on the deck, then he put the horse collar under my arms. I was then hanging below the helicopter thanking everyone who had ever worked on that helicopter for doing a good job. We got down on deck, our bird had a Main Gear Box Chip Light. The mech cleaned the sensor and we go in that one we just fixed and returned home.

Curious to why you start forward flight as soon as hoist is clear of the trees. Is it to get to destination quicker or to give wind drag for the hoist person to use to stop spinning? Or is possible vortex ring state a problem while in a steady hover?
@Hook-in-hand
@Hook-in-hand Ай бұрын
Hi thank you. Yes once a swing, oscillation, or spin starts we just initiate forward flight and the aerodynamic slipstream corrects it to a manageable level.

It would be interesting to know what the most dangerous helicopter rescue you've ever done was. The most intense helicopter rescue I have seen was a coast guard rescue in bad weather on Deadliest Catch. I'm relieved to know there are awesome professionals like you that are able to help people when they are experiencing an issue while hiking.

@@wio2189 I've hiked this section, they're right. In the "Desert" section many hikers especially from abroad or non Western US states don't understand they'll be hiking through mountainous terrain with snow and ice even into May some years. There are too many unprepared PCT hikers who get gassed up on social media idealized version of a long distance hike and dont' have the gear, skills, or stamina to tackle the early challenges of the PCT, and they all carry Garmins so they can push their panic button whenever they face adversity. This hiker had a dislocated shoulder. Certainly could have hiked to a road.

5:12 I see shorts, sneakers, no socks and no spikes. Actually, sneakers are trail runner shoes. Perfect for absorbing freezing water to cool off and numb your feet any sensitivity for traction or slippage. Whether you have spikes or not if you take one step onto the terrain you "should know" if footing/balance will work or not. Hard snow, soft snow, ice, wet gravel,..etc. Well? You want to go on? Turn back? Unless you are dead set to do 20 miles/day despite altitude, fatigue, low water, late morning start, SanJac report. Just keep one hand on the garmin tx and be ready to push the button. The hand that is free because it's not holding an ice axe. Rock and Roll.

Search and rescue groups, whether public or private live for this type mission. They are volunteers who train intensively and actual rescues are the best training possible. Maybe you would like to pay for any service from police, fire or paramedic service you or your family get.
