This afternoon, emergency services, including the Swanage and St Albans Coastguard teams, both Swanage RNLI lifeboats, Dorset Police, South Western Ambulance, and a Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Critical Care team, responded to an incident in Studland.
A 999 emergency call reported that a male had fallen from the cliffs at Old Harry Rocks. Lifeboat crews arrived to find the young male being attended to by a local activity company. Remarkably, despite falling 60 feet, he had sustained only minor injuries.
The Coastguard teams, arrived at Old Harry Rocks and Knoll Beach, ensured that no others were in danger and coordinated with the lifeboat at Knoll Beach. Due to the significant height of the fall, the ambulance service was requested, and the student was medically assessed.
Emergency crews were astonished by the absence of serious injuries. After a thorough evaluation, the student was released back to his group with some strong safety advice about his actions to return home
