Uncovering the Story of a Helicopter Rescue

Back on May 11th, the Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit airlifted a Pacific Crest Trail hiker near Snow Creek in southern California. The following video shows the rescue:

After watching the video, I could not figure what was wrong with the hiker. She was not unconscious, nor did she have broken leg. She looked fine! I did a little research, and I found a detailed report for the rescue, but the hiker's ailment was never listed. I was puzzled, and wondered if this rescue was actually necessary.

Then I found another video on YouTube that was related to this helicopter rescue. In fact, I recognized the hiker (Annie) telling the story using finger puppets, so I had to check it out:

Well, I guess that answers my question about why the hiker was rescued. I guess that's a legitimate reason, eh?

Props to the Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit for doing what they do. Keep up the good work!
