A BASE jumper was rescued in a dramatic video shared on social media in the canyons near Moab, Utah, earlier this week.
The video, taken by Ashley Corbin, shows the heart-racing moment Wednesday when rescuers intercepted the BASE jumper who had a rainbow parachute stuck on the canyon face at Kane Creek.
Grand County Emergency Services shared in a post that officers were called around 1 p.m. that afternoon, and it wasn’t until 3:15 p.m. that the officers first could reach the BASE jumper, whose identity is unknown at this time.
In a Facebook post after the incident , the Grand County Sheriff’s Department wrote that “the BASE jumper was successfully rescued,” was provided “advanced treatment for moderate injuries” and was hoisted around 4 p.m. from the cliff face to a landing zone.
