They sustained multiple, serious injuries
A person has sustained multiple injuries after plunging down one of the UK's highest waterfalls this weekend in Dumfries and Galloway.
Scottish Ambulance Service helicopters were at the scene and extracted the casualty from the freezing water. They were then raced to a major trauma centre after medics assessed they had multiple injuries sustained from a "significant" fall into the upper section of the waterfall. Moffat Mountain Rescue Team said: "Helimed [Trauma Team helicopter] arrived on location first, passing on a grid reference of the casualty location to MMRT who were then able to make their way to that location. Helimed then landed nearby.
"The casualty had sustained multiple injuries following a significant fall into the upper section of the waterfall. Pain relief was administered and the casualty was packaged in a vacuum mattress, casualty bag and stretcher before being winched to Rescue 199 with members of Moffat MRT tending to the Hi-line to stabilise the stretcher during the winch. The casualty was then conveyed to a major trauma centre for further care.
