Paramedic swung into ravine and to his death
It is understood that with the injured canyoner strapped to him, Mr Wilson stepped off a cliff and swung into the ravine so the pair could be winched up into the helicopter.
But they crashed into a cliff face opposite and Mr Wilson was pinned between his patient and the rock wall.
Both men had to be lowered to the ravine floor, police said, where the helicopter team was forced to cut the winch line. It is understood that was done because Mr Wilson was unable to free himself from the wire.
He died soon after from internal injuries.
Condolences.
