Hoisted from Hell (Full Episode) | Extreme Rescues

Whatever they pay these rescue teams, they deserve more.

I can’t imagine the thought of being trapped in a crevasse. This really goes to show why it’s so important to have Emergency Location Transmitters on you, especially if your skiing/snowboarding alone.

That pilot says that was one of the most difficult rescues but they made it look like they done that a thousand times!! Awesome 👍 Glad everyone was safe

I totally agree with carrying the knife in all risky situations; diving, on the water, and on land. Four-inch blade. Standard gear for many government extreme-situation employees in many countries. A good knife is indeed the ultimate general tool and survival tool. As a New Zealand government employee in two different departments in the 70s and 80s, I had to carry a survival knife on my belt when in the field, or risk being fired for not following required procedure. Back in the 1970s in New Zealand we used Air Force Hueys for alpine rescues and I was in SAR for a few years then, long before GPS, PLBs, and cell phones existed. Rescues took days then, and now take just hours. I have lived on a forested island on Canada's west coast, since 1998, and NEVER go out my door without my Swiss Army knife on its lanyard attached to my belt. It has got me out of some dicey situations over the years. Great rescue, guys, and great video of it. Very well done. Great to watch you all in action.

Breaking my femur was the most painful thing i've ever experienced in my 31 years so far so i sympathise so much with him. Everyone at hospital pulled blankets over their face to dampen my hellish screams.

That first Helo crew are so brave. Helicopters rely on air and at that height those blades are not "grabbing" much so they blades have to have the perfect tilt and RPM to be able to continue to grab air. One large updraft could have brought the helo into a uncontrollable spin and then crash. Big Balls on that crew. Big. Balls

These stories are incredible. The injured impress me, their friends, and of course the rescue team all are amazing.

My hat is off to that pilot over the boat. Just incredible guys.

Im more impressed how in the first story, the skiiers were able to call emergency from the top of the mountain and how clear the audio was. I can barely get reception in my major metropolis downtown!🤔

You couldn't pay me enough money in the world to be the one hoisting others to safety on top of a mountain like that. Nope. Kudos to those who do this job, just wow

Craig inviting Terry back out fishing immediately warmed my soul.

These rescue guys do a mental job but can we just appreciate how casual Terry was when telling the guy he lost his thumb

Taking rescue skills to the edge. Surviving here in this hostile and unforgiving yet breathtaking place is a huge gamble. Brave rescue team. Arranging this footage to showcase the world of this precarious situation is really impressive 👏

I think the guy tried to Ski, when he felled deep in the crevasse. it must be a terrible sensation , suddenly the ground opened to a dark, deep, unexpected and horrible hole . normally the crevasses accidents resulted is a fatality . this guy was lucky and was a expert Alpinist. He was calm and knew what to do to survived. it´s a great video to learn about the danger and what you can do to lived another day. Amazing

I appreciate the fact that they didn't censor the thumb. Helps get a real sense of how traumatic the injury was.

these documentaries are so interesting, absolutley love them, thank you national geographic!

first guy is a friend everyone needs. he knows what he's doing

My daughter has sumitted Mt. Stuart before, and that mountain is no joke. Good thing these guys were together. Big respect for the respect for the rescue team!!

“Who’s got the leg injury” 😂😂😂😂. Guys leg looked like it was run over by a truck and pointing south
