Land Rescue - May 2nd 2010

STAR Flight 1 responded to Enchanted Rock for a 50 yr old male that had fallen (height of 25' onto back) while rock climbing. Upon arrival on-scene, SF crew were informed that ground EMS along with Park Rangers had stabilized and immobilized the patient on a backboard, but the victim remained in an area that had restricted access/egress. Decision was made to hoist out the patient. A STAR Flight rescuer was inserted and the victim packaged and hoisted to an area where he could be put in the helicopter for transport. Patient was transported to University Medical Center - Brackenridge where he was treated for his injuries.
