Anyone see this??? Lucky guy.
 
CHP copter plucks man clinging to rock at top of 40-foot waterfall - SFGate

That's around my neck of the woods. Runoff is extremely dangerous this year.

Nice to see a positive police story for once.

Wow, beautiful place.
What was DA doing there?
Looks like white water all around.

There are what's called the emerald pools up river. He miscalculated the flow and got taken down stream. The runoff in the Sierra is extremely high now because of the huge snowpack and warm weather.

Excellent crew coordination on an easy pluck.

I would still be flying if I could do that type of flying again. Nothing better.

So I tear up when they haul his ass into the basket.

My testosterone must be rock bottom in these later years.
