A crew member was lowered to the man, who was stuck hundreds of feet above the ocean.
DALY CITY, California — Rescuers with the California Highway Patrol were able to use a helicopter to pluck a man stuck on the side of a cliff more than 200 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
A news release from CHP’s Golden Gate Air Division Operations says the Daly City Fire Department asked for a helicopter Thursday afternoon after receiving a report that a fisherman spotted the man clinging to the side of a cliff. According to CHP, the man was about halfway down the 500-foot cliff. Firefighters say they were unable to find the man because of his location. A helicopter was sent to the area and the crew spotted the man.
The helicopter hovered about 100 feet above the man and a crew member was lowered down with a rescue harness. The crew member was able to get the harness around the man and both were carried to a safe area on land in a rescue“He grabbed onto me, dangerous thing he did, if I swung away from him, potentially he’d fallen off the cliff,” flight officer and Paramedic David Arias. “I told him to stay put on the cliff, he was able to get into harness and help me out.
