Angel Bay rescue

We were called this evening to a male who had fallen on the Angel Bay Cliff path that leads to the beach.

We arrived on scene and quickly located the casualty, who was already being cared for by a Police officer. After conducting a dynamic risk assessment we decided the best method of rescue was by RAF Rescue 122 from RAF Valley as the fall had left him with potentially serious injuries.

While waiting for the helicopter the casualty's condition worsened so we provided First Aid until the helicopter was overhead and the winchman was lowered.

The winchman decided that the casualty needed to be extracted quickly so he was placed in a 'double strop' where the winchman and casualty ascend into the helicopter without the need for a stretcher, this is the quickest method.

The Casualty was then flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
