Two hikers reached him. One was a doctor.

A 33-year-old filmmaker fell about 100 feet off a ledge on Tom, Dick, and Harry Mountain, a volcanic ridge above Government Camp in Oregon, just before 3 P.M. on September 15. He had rigged ropes to capture a drone shot for an indie film and lost his footing at the top of the cliff band, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. He slid another 15 to 20 feet, then lay on his side, breathing but not moving. About half an hour later, two hikers reached him. One was a doctor. They kept him from rolling further down the slope and applied pressure and tourniquets to control the bleeding, relaying his condition to rescuers by radio. "[The doctor] was able to control bleeding and handle essentially shock symptoms on the scene," Sergeant Adam Peterson said. An Oregon National Guard helicopter crew reached him by 5 P.M. and flew him to a hospital. The mountain usually deals in sprained ankles.
