[QUOTE=Shug;1626906]With CarolinaBackpackers approval here is my video footage of his ordeal in the Gorge.
I think the video says it all.
He is now a Legend of the Gorge.

Thanks Shug and a big shout out for all of the Gorge Rats there that day. The team is called (NC HART) North Carolina Helicopter and Aquatic Rescue Team who train and work with local Emergency responders for such incidents as this. https://www.nccrimecontrol.org/Index...,000487,001721
You all did an amazing job keeping Jeremy stable and working with the first responders. A lot harder than one would think. I will pass your video along to Burke EM and the NC HART team. Hope you got some good video to share from the foothills trail. Jeremy get well soon!!!!

If you're gonna fall down a mountain, its a good thing to have good friends with you. Heck of a deal. Reminds us all, as Phil Esterhaus said, "Be careful out there." Thanks to our HF boys for their good work, and get better Jeremy.
