He said that they had to climb about 500 metres up the mountain slope to assist the 70-year-old visitor.<br \/>\u201cThe old man was accompanied by four other tourists and they all went walking up the mountain to the east of the Dordabis road near the Nampower substation. When we reached the man he was unable to walk and we would not have been able to carry him all the way down the slope.\u201d<br \/>Jacobs said they then called on the Namibian Police for help with the helicopter. <br \/>\u201cWe had to stabilize the visitor and when the helicopter arrived we helped him to get in and he was taken to a hospital in Windhoek.\u201d<br \/>He said one of the paramedics assisted the tourist in the helicopter while they were flying back to Windhoek and the rest of the rescue team and the remaining tourists walked down the mountain to their respective vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":276800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
