A hiker who fell from a cliff was saved in a daring search and rescue operation with different emergency services.

The rambler plunged down the steep face and landed near the water's edge before making a phone call for help in San Francisco, California on September 24.

The incident prompted a rapid response from emergency crews, including the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Rangers and the United States Park Police.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Helicopter H30 and San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) Helicopter Rescue Technician Paramedic Nilsson were also involved in the operation.

H30 executed a daring 75ft hoist through challenging terrain, including trees and rough terrain, to reach the seriously injured hiker.

Flight Officer/Medic Bouyea from H30 and SFFD HRT Medic Nilsson provided advanced medical care while delivering the hiker to the awaiting ground medic. The injured hiker was then transported to a local trauma center for further treatment.
