SAR helo lands on famous Pulpit Rock in Norway

When I just arrived on the famous Pulpit Rock (640 metres high Preikestolen) I saw a Norwegian Search and Rescue helicopter flying in the Fjords. It turned out it needed to land on the Pulpit rock to rescue a climber! Date was july 14th 2013
Enjoy!

That big crack that runs across the whole width always freaks me out. Experts say the whole thing will collapse some day. When no one knows

No cap: this is actualy my friends mother. She broke her leg and got picked up by the helli

[@elvispresley1631]

It looks like a tourist got injured while hiking here. It's good that the Norwegians have a rescue service for such unpleasant cases . Was in these places in the summer of 2012. But not on a rock, but on a local boat along the Lysefjord

Holy crap - I've seen some heart-stopping flying from SAR pilots in the Alps, but that has to be right up there - especially as it's a larger and more cumbersome copter...

@@Mindcroscope Yup - I'm a Brit and they are used by our RAF rescue teams, so I've often seen them at work. They use them because their priority is air-sea rescue, where they need the capacity and range. Unlike the Alpine countries, we don't have specialised mountain helicopter SAR. I'd imagine it's the same in Norway. In the Alps it's more common to see much smaller and more agile helicopters where the casualty is carried underneath. I once saw some breathtaking flying where the Swiss plucked an injured climber directly off a steep ridge - the rotors appeared to be inches from the rock. I very much doubt it could have been done with the Sea King, and a conventional lower by the SAR team would have been a big undertaking - they were 1500 feet up the route...

Scary yet skillful.!

[@lindasvalesen5237]

This makes me happy to be norwegian. Hope I never have to be picked up by them tho.

Very smooth landing

[@serepecmarijo5319]

This is no joke

kudos to the pilot.

That rock has better spots to land.

Who is hurz?

[@razony]

Thanks to the men and women, who put there lives in danger to save YOU, for WHATEVER reason you needed help. 'They' came to help you. p.s. This is why we pay taxes.

[@serepecmarijo5319]

Who is hurt ?

[@nomad4298]

Thats why insurance are expensive,town people want to come out and this how it end,helicopter have to come and help them beacusey feel tired,we have that problem in sweden before but now you have to pay youself,good

[@AaWK]

I think not. This Norwegian rescue operation are paid by the goverment, like a public service, covered by the taxes.

[@updownstate]

Definitely more exciting than watching paint dry.

[@deltavee2]

Since you obviously have had the experience, could you please post the video of you watching paint dry so we can compare?

[@gvbalajee]

I love to settle here

[@tinkersailorhead4360]

After all Those years they should put Up Marks for the best landing Spot.

[@ukspizzaman]

There is no "best" landing spot up there. It depends on the wind conditions. Btw this is the 330 squadron, they operate in just about any condition there is, land and sea.

[@AmbleLog]

Looks risky in bumpy rock surface

[@tarabhujel2405]

Accilence no comment. Wow accilence.

[@VedaSay]

sadinning to see so much plastic throw up there which was flying around.sicko people who go climbing those mountains. this should have been like 10 yrs now, now it should be real dump yard there.

[@LULEKOSO]

Notei que na Noruega as pessoas não se preocupam tanto com o meio ambiente. Viu o que voou de plásticos resultado do lixo jogado. Lamentável.

[@kenhillifly]

The person they took with them didn't seem very sick. I hope he get a bill in his mailbox for the crews salary, fuel, maintainence and norwegian tax payers loss for that mission.

[@TheOnlineBiker]

kim hafslag health care is free here in Norway

[@kenhillifly]

Oh, is it now? Hmmm...I didn't know rescue workers, choppers, fuel and so on and so on payed it self. Back to elementary school for you.

[@TheOnlineBiker]

Yes it is tax payer money but in Norway if you need rescue you don't have to spens your whole life paying back the debt

[@TheOnlineBiker]

Because the government generally cares about each individual, and belive me it works, and almost everybody in Norway has a good economy and health

[@bennylofgren3208]

You have impressive medical skills, being able to accurately diagnose someone in a KZbin move, filmed from a distance. But tell me doctor, I understand that "not very sick" is advanced medical terminology, but how would you characterize that in layman's terms?
