Gordon's Bay wwas called out on Friday night to assist the Metro Ambulance and Rescue Services at Whale Watchers, near Gordon's Bay, where a man had fallen approximately 20 metres from a cliff.
NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said that SAPS, Metro Ambulance and Rescue Services and Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services managed to stabilise the man, who was seriously injured with multiple fractures and they requested the assistance of an NSRI rescue craft to casualty move the patient from the shoreline at the foot of the cliff.
“NSRI Gordon's Bay volunteers brought a NSRI rescue craft up against the rocks near to where paramedics were treating the patient and the patient was loaded onto the rescue craft, secured into a specialised stokes basket stretcher, and brought into Gordon's Bay harbour and the man was transported to hospital by a Metro ambulance in a serious but stable condition,” said Lambinon
