Incident report

Edale and Buxton Mountain Rescue Teams were called jointly to Bradwell Edge to a incident involving a injured Paraglider.  Buxton members’ response was frustrated by a road closure which meant a considerable diversion in order to attend the scene.

An unfortunate pilot got into difficulties upon take off causing a crash which resulted in him suffering back injuries.   The casualty was initially treated by Edale members and when the casualty had been stabilised he was prepared for a short evacuation to the road-head for onward transport to hospital.
