Incredible footage shows moment mountain rescue teams save man trapped on Peak District in snow
He was found with potentially life-threatening hypothermia
Incredible footage has revealed the moment 60 mountain rescue volunteers saved a man trapped on the Peak District during heavy snow.
The team spent hours searching for the man, who was left trapped on Tuesday (07 January), before finding him in the Hern Stones area.
A helicopter tried to join the search, but was unable to because the weather was so bad.
They used a sled to bring him down to the Snake Pass, before he was transported to hospital.
The video, posted on Glossop Mountain Rescue Team's Facebook page, shows the team dragging a sled through blizzard-like conditions.
The team said: "Visibility and mobility across the moor were hampered by snow that was drifting up to 3ft in depth. The casualty was located in the Hern stones area, assessed and provided warming blankets due to significant hypothermia.
"With the potential for life threatening injuries we requested support from the Coastguard S92 helicopter. Unfortunately after several attempts they were forced to turn by the weather on Bleaklow.
"Considering the arduous nature of conditions, Kinder and Edale Mountain Rescue Teams were called on to support with the stretcher carry back to the roadhead.
"The casualty was transported off the hill to snake summit using our new sled - fabricated by Wray Engineering where he was passed onto the awaiting ambulance for further assessment and treatment.
"We wish the casualty a speedy recovery."
