| August 8, 2010 | Tourist survives after falling into Grand Canyon | | London: An 18-year old French tourist has survived after falling into the Grand Canyon. According to
park rangers, the unnamed man slipped while taking pictures near the rim. He fell
75 feet before landing unconscious on a ledge as horrified tourists looked on.
Park rangers received a report of a man falling over the edge of Mather Point,
which is a short walk behind the South Rim's visitor centre. Paramedics rappelled
down to the man's location and stabilized him so he could be airlifted out of
the canyon and transported by ambulance to Flagstaff Medical Centre, reports The
Daily Mail. Park officials said that the man, whose name and hometown have not
been released, was treated for wrist, ankle and neck injuries. | |
