Un american a mers șase ore prin munți cu un baston de drumeție înfipt în coastă / Transportul cu elicopterul l-ar fi costat cel puțin 12.000 de dolari
A medical assistant in Montana, David Cifaldi, chose to walk 16 kilometers down a mountain after being impaled by a trekking pole, avoiding costly helicopter rescue. He assessed his injury and determined it did not affect vital organs. After a long descent with friends, he reached a hospital where doctors confirmed his self-assessment and treated him. Cifaldi planned to return to work the next day despite being advised to rest.
