Incident Report #45 2002

A 60-year-old man slipped and fell while scrambling up a steep section of path. He sustained a nasty head injury and serious injury to his eye. Some of our equipment was carried up the hill by a helicopter working with the National Trust (it was to small to get the stretcher in to get it down). The man was evacuated to Carlisle hospital.
