Naked man fell 300 feet into ravine, doesn’t know how he got there
He’s naked and should be afraid.
A young man was taken to safety by a military helicopter after falling 330 feet into a ravine while totally nude.
The unnamed nudist was rescued in a daring operation that took place last Wednesday at the Mestre Álvaro nature reserve in Espírito Santo, Brazil.
A passing hiker heard the man’s cries coming from a narrow crack between two large rocks before they quickly alerted authorities.
“A team was sent to the scene and they found the victim … out of the team’s reach,” Major Pablo Angely Marques of the Brazilian Air Force told local media.
The official added that there was a risk of the nude man falling even farther down into the ravine, so they needed to proceed carefully in order to bring him out alive.
Eventually, the Air Force decided to use a rescue basket tied to the military helicopter in order to retrieve the exhibitionist.
Despite suffering injuries from the 300-foot fall, the man was able to get into the basket before he was flown up and out of the ravine.
The nude male was later identified as a local who lived just 18 miles from the nature reserve, although his name was not released to the public.
“He couldn’t explain why he was naked. He claimed he couldn’t remember how he got there, but presumed he went to the area with friends,” Major Marques stated.
The man had been reported missing several hours before he was heard by the hiker, however, it’s unclear exactly how long he had been trapped in the ravine.
He was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for hypothermia and a variety of minor injuries sustained during the fall, but is expected to make a full recovery.
