Man dies after falling off 100ft waterfall in popular walking hotspot sparking mountain rescue, helicopter and drone op
A MAN plunged to his death while hiking a popular British holiday destination. 2 2 Mountain rescue teams raced to the iconic spot but sadly found that the man had not survived the fall. The hiker fell from Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Dark Peak in the Peak District. Authorities recovered his body after reports came in that a walker had fallen on June 30. A coastguard helicopter was also used to retrieve the body, alongside a drone team from Buxton and Glossop Mountain Rescue. A huge team of 31 workers were part of the recovery effort, including Kinder Mountain Rescue and the Derbyshire police. It took ten hours for the man's body to be collected by the helicopter, using a stretcher to hoist the body from the base of the Downfall. The mountain rescue team released a statement following the incident. The statement read: "When the helicopter arrived, conditions proved to be too challenging to winch directly from the base of the Downfall. "So the team performed a difficult stretcher carry to a lower location where he could be collected by the helicopter and flown to our vehicles. "This was a challenging ten hour incident for all involved. We would like to thank the group of walkers who called in the incident for their assistance. "The team would like to pass on our sincere condolences to the walker's family."
