A man was recused by helicopter after falling from a cliff edge in San Francisco.

“CHP H-30 responded with the San Francisco Fire Department to a report of an elderly male who fell approx 30 yards from a cliffs edge near Lands End,” a post on the Golden Gate Division Air Operations Facebook page read.

“After a brief search, H-30 located the male in a grove of trees and in a difficult to access location.

H-30 flew the victim and the SFFD HRT member to Cliff Rescue 14s location where they were lowered to safety.”
