Used to be in the RCAF (Cdn. Air force) and let me tell you, maneuvering that copter down into that wee valley of what I am quite sure is an abundance of particularly tough winds had me on the edge! I also live in Vancouver, BC so, I am well acquainted with the strong winds in some of these coves. Well done! I was actually shocked to see the copter come down to the victim, as opposed to lifting him the 50ft or so to the copter...excellent piloting skills! Just goes to show you what our amazing men and women do when their expertise is needed. Bravah!

@@mr.m7791 if it was Air Ambulance, yes it would be a Chargeable fee. but it was a Search and Rescue which is free, same for Fire Fighters that battle house fires its a free Service that get the money from town/city/state (depending on locations). Even if it was Air Ambulance and Hospital Stay or taking by Ambulance if a person is Homeless they wouldnt have to pay and reasonable medical Care will still be Provided. Alot and Mean ALOT of Hospitals have signs in Public view stating that Reasonable Medical Care will be Provided even if Homeless or low income at No Charge to the Person. You Could always ask the Hospital too about it. and Ask for More Info.

[@rubenzikarsky5195]

To clarify for everyone, Search and Rescue is an emergency service and is free to patients almost anywhere in the world, funded by taxes and public fundraises. The only time airlifts and transports are not free is when there is a secondary option the patient can choose with exceptions to some low-staffed or equipped services. Any first response service detailed to preserving life will not charge unless they are being used outside their primary purpose.

[@theperksofally]

you would hope so yet any person who acts “negligently in requiring a search and rescue response” is liable to pay for it.
