A hiking Oregon man captured the moment he jumped into action and helped a young woman pull her mother back up to safety after she slipped off the side of an elevated trail.
The dramatic scene unfolded Wednesday at the Columbia River Gorge where Taylor Root’s GoPro footage shows him running toward cries for help before finding the daughter, who only had one arm, holding onto her mother dangling off the side of the cliff.
“Right away I jumped over her and I saw the other lady laying on her back, head was downhill as if you just sat on the trail and leaned yourself back,” Root told KPTV. “Feet were up in the air.”
Root’s footage shows him grabbing the older woman’s arms as she tried to get back on the trail near the top of Multnomah Falls.
“I’m gonna give you a big hoist here,” he told the woman, who he then yanked back to safety with the help of her daughter.
