WHOOPS! Man Injured Mountain Biking Near Durango (CO)
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...34/detail.html
Man Injured Mountain Biking Near Durango Victim's Friend Rode Through Hail Storm To Call For Help By Thomas Hendrick, New Media Producer POSTED: 1:02 pm MDT August 18, 2012 DENVER -- A New Mexico man had to be rescued along the Colorado Trail near Durango late Friday, after he fell while mountain biking. Jim Chavez was riding the trail south of Kennebec Pass when he fell off and injured his leg, said Dan Bender of the La Plata County Sheriff's Office. "Another man who was riding with him rode farther down the trail and through a hail storm to reach a point where he was able to call 911 on his cell phone, " Bender said. A group of hikers who were in the area met up with Chavez and set up a tent to help shield him from heavy rain that fell Friday night. Around 9 p.m., a search and rescue team found Chavez and carried him out on a stretcher to an ambulance. It took about three hours for Chavez to be carried out to the Junction Creek Trailhead. He was taken to a hospital in Durango, Bender said. |

Based entirely on mountain bikers' lies. No surprize there! |

WHOOPS! HIKER Injured
Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Injured Hiker Rescued from Hanging Canyon in Grand Tetons And yet another rescue in Grand Teton National Park. Rangers had to rescue an injured hiker yesterday, after he slipped and tumbled 20 feet on rocky terrain and sustained facial and lower leg injuries. Paul Danes, 23, of Raleigh, North Carolina was scrambling alone and off trail near the mouth of Hanging Canyon at the time of his accident. Other day hikers who were in the Hanging Canyon area heard cries for help and discovered Danes. They provided basic care for his injuries and placed a cell phone call for help at 12:45 p.m. that was received by Teton Interagency Dispatch Center. Based upon the call and the relatively close location to the Jenny Lake westshore trail, rangers made preparations to evacuate Danes by a wheeled-litter handled by four rescuers. Upon reaching Danes by foot, rangers determined that a helicopter short-haul evacuation was the more prudent rescue technique. The decision was made because of a combination of Danes' injuries and the rough and rocky terrain over which the wheeled-litter would be hauled to complete an evacuation by ground. A Teton Interagency contract helicopter was summoned at 3 p.m. and an aerial evacuation of the injured hiker was completed by 4:15 p.m. Danes was transported by park ambulance to St. John's Medical Center in Jackson for further medical treatment. Danes is working as a seasonal concession employee in Yellowstone National Park for the summer. This is now the 7th major search and rescue operation in Grand Teton National Park this summer.
