A climber was saved from more serious injuries by his helmet after a fall at a South Pembrokeshire beauty spot. The alarm was raised at approximately 11 am on Bank Holiday Monday. St. Govan's coastguard rescue team, the South Pembs. sector manager, Dave Miller, and the RAF rescue helicopter from Chivenor were called to the scene and found a 28-year-old man from Farnborough, Hampshire, who had fallen approximately 20 feet from a climb onto a ledge at the bottom of the cliffs. The climber was on a climb called Bombay, as part of a group, but his rig became detached from the cliff face and he fell onto his head and back. Fortunately, he was wearing a safety helmet and this prevented serious injuries to his head. Initially, he managed to get to his feet and even attempted to climb back up the cliff, but pain and strain kicked in and he was unable to move from his landing spot. Members of the St. Govan's cliff team, together with an ambulance paramedic, were lowered down the cliff, and after assessing the faller's injuries, the rescue helicopter was called in and winched the man to safety before conveying him to Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest, for treatment.
