Title: 99p whistle
Post by: ChuckMcB on March 20, 2013
A bit late to the party on this one, but not see it posted elsewhere.

Gent falls 100ft down a snow gully in Snowdon with his head cam on

fec!  (played it a second time with the sound on: well that's my nightmare sorted for tonight!)

He's doing ok just a bit busted up.

And to explain the title:
"We realised straight away that a helicopter evacuation was needed but there was no mobile signal so I got my 99p whistle out and gave six burst of that."

saw this a few days ago, he's very lucky not to have been killed isn't he? Scary video in any case. Does go to show that a whistle is an essential bit of kit! lol
