Who: A British man
Where: Hagar Qim, UK
His mistake: Bad luck.
What happened: A man was rock climbing on Hagar Qim when a large rock above him fell and struck the man. The climber took a fall and suffered a severe head injury. Authorities said the man’s rope caught his fall, but he was still semi-conscious and bleeding profusely.
Rescue was alerted and a chopper was brought in. The skilled pilot kept the chopper just feet from striking the cliff. He lowered a rescue to the man’s location and helped winch the injured climber into the air. The climber was brought to a local hospital for treatment. It is unclear if the man was wearing a helmet during the fall.
