Amazing helicopter rescue of hiker stuck on cliff

maatc says...

Almost always the reason is an overestimation of their skills. They realize mid way up that they lack the strength to make it to the top on their own, and since back down is even more dangerous they get stuck. Especially without ropes.

My wife and I found a father and son midway up Echo Point in Katoomba, NSW once. They attempted to climb the cliff for a daytrip, and were only 2/3 of the way up when nighttime fell, so they camped on a ledge and started screaming when the sun came up.
We were on a hike for sunrise and thats when we heard them. Called in rescue and they showed up with helicopter and a team that repelled down to them. Got them up safely after a few hours.

Rescue team was actually happy about this one. Said 9 out of 10 they are called in to scrape up the remains of suicide jumpers at that location.

I always wonder in this and other similar rescue operations how people manage to get themselves into such predicaments. Sure, bad things happen that can't be prevented, I understand that, and have the utmost respect and gratitude for rescue operators....buuuut.... I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the times someone has done something stupid. I wonder if that frustration gets to them...

and dude... fuck your bag.

Urban Pallet Surfing

I think its a pretty obvious setup, a pallet with some wheels on tracks, so "how to" kind of applies, but as it is lacking instructions I removed it from the channel.

Shouldn't be in the "How to" Channel..., I saw no instructions on how to make one of these, or how it works.

Great Times! I later found out that the Oxford Tavern we went to in Petersham used to be a strip club up until a few months ago.

Ended up there again for my farewell dinner a couple days later.
It was great meeting you all!
