Injured walker
The police had received numerous calls stating a male had fallen about 100 metres from the vicinity of the Bad Step, Striding Edge. As it was likely that the faller had sustained serious injuries the Team requested support from HMCG. The GNAAS aircraft was also mobilised.
The Air Ambulance landed at Red Tarn so their Doctor and Paramedic were first on scene. Sadly, despite medical attention, the casualty died. The Team carried the casualty to the Air Ambulance which flew him to Patterdale.
