0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Two paramedics have managed - to walk to the accident scene.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- But the uneven terrain - makes landing difficult.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- After the second attempt, - they land safely.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- You're clear to the front.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- They have a long - and steep climb ahead of them.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- These paramedics - are required to be reasonably fit.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Hello, mate. How are you doing?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Paramedic Rhodri examines the leg - to determine the injury.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- His lower leg.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- The bone - is pushing against his skin.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- After administering a dose - of morphine, Dan must be moved.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Dan, I'm not going to lie to you. - It's going to hurt when we move you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Hopefully the morphine - will take the edge off that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- It's cold on the mountainside.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Paramedics fear the casualty - may develop hypothermia.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I'm going to take your shoe off.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17- Aargh!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Aargh!- - Alright. OK. Bear with us.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Bear with us. Well done. All done.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- It was alright after the morphine...
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- ..but when they moved my leg, - it hurt and I was in a lot of pain.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I've got your leg. Nice and easy.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Whoa, whoa!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Despite the urgency, - they must be very careful.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- The slope is steep - and there's a strong gale blowing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- You come here and - we'll have to hold the stretcher.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Did you get - a distal pulse when we moved him?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- The crew must ensure - there is blood flow to the foot.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- If there's no pulse, it's possible - the casualty may lose his foot.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Let me just check for a distal - pulse again when we moved him.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- He currently has a pulse, but that - could change when they move him.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- I'll have to pull this - really tightly.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- That's fine. Go for it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- One on each corner, guys.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30- One facing.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Yes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- You won't have to walk on it.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02- It's a shame you can't see anything.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- The view from up here - is spectacular.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31- Are you in the helicopter?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Are you in the helicopter?- - Yes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- I can see you now.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- There's a couple of people south - of you, right on the junction.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Get them to walk away from you. That - gives us more options for landing.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- There's a slope on there, mate.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52- No C-spine pain. - No shoulder pain. No hip pain.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- The paramedic is happy - there is no neck injury...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- ..but he must find out more.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- You remember - everything that happened?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Medication?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Asthma? Diabetes? - Normally fit and well?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Aided by paramedic Tony Stevens...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- ..Andy will be moved - to the spinal board.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- If it's a back injury, any - small movement could paralyze him.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- We'll sit him up, - nice and easy, OK?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- We'll see how you go.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- This is going to sting, buddy.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Nice and easy.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Once you're up there, - let it settle.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Don't take deep breaths.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Nice and easy, OK?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Nice and easy, OK?- - Argh! It hurts.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- HE WHIMPERS
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Lovely stuff. There you go.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Otherwise you're going - to get a gobful of that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- We're literally - bringing your bum down, fella.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Nice and easy.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Aargh! Aargh!
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- We're trying to protect your - stomach. Relax as much as you can.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Relax back. There we go.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I don't know if you can, - but if your legs can go down.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Andy has been on the ground - for more than half an hour.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Like every helpless casualty - in an exposed area...
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- ..there is the risk of hypothermia.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Often, hypothermia - sets in on the mountains.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- The wind affects the casualty if - he's not wearing suitable clothing.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Without a blanket or a cover, a - person loses body heat very quickly.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- One, two, three, oop.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Andy is now warmly wrapped up - and in good hands.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- OK, let it slide.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Accidents like this - can cause internal bleeding.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Sam examines the stomach to see - if this area has started to harden.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- You're quite fit - and quite toned as well.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- I don't know - which one's your six pack.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- You have a feel with - your other hand. Nice and easy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Is that - your normal muscle down there?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- The stomach - is usually soft to the touch.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- If it starts hardening, - it's a sign of internal bleeding.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- When I was examining Andy, - I noticed his stomach was very hard.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- It was complicated by the fact - that he's naturally a fit man...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- ..with a toned, muscly stomach.
