At about 2pm on the 2/4/12 a 15 year old male fell when descending the North Ridge of Ngauruhoe with a school group. During the fall he sustained a moderate puncture wound and couldn’t move from his location. The Youthtown Rescue Helicopter flew an initial team of two to the accident site and then another team of two after that to assist. The cloud layers remained just above the accident site and once the patient was packaged he was flown on the longline from site to a staging area near Soda Springs. The patient was handed over to St Johns paramedics and taken to Taupo hospital at about 4pm.
