We were asked by the East Midlands Ambulance Service to assist a 79 year old gentleman who had fallen at Twenty Trees, above Hayfield Village. The gentleman had injured his shoulder and had banged his head when he fell. Head injuries, particularly in older casualties, are a cause for concern. Fortunately, we were able to reach him quickly and one of our team doctors provided medical care.

We evacuated the gentleman on our stretcher and handed him over to the EMAS ambulance waiting on Kinder Road.

We wish the gentleman a speedy recovery and hope that we didn’t hold up drivers for too long on Kinder Road, which we had to shut briefly whilst the ambulance received the casualty.

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team is staffed by volunteers who give their time free of charge and is funded entirely by public donations.
