Snowboarder Falls into Volcano - The Unbelievable Heroic Rescue Caught on Camera
"In 2023, Portland Mountain Rescue (PMR) received the SAR Award in recognition of their outstanding valor in the daring rescue mission involving a snowboarder who had plunged 30 feet into an active volcanic fumarole on Mt. Hood."
To clarify a few things, fumaroles are natural steam vents formed by volcanic activity, harbor notable risks for individuals who approach them too closely. These apertures in the Earth's crust release a combination of steam, various gases, and occasionally harmful substances, rendering them perilous surroundings.
"In an exemplary display of teamwork and dedication, PMR collaborated with the Hood River Crag Rats throughout the night to extricate the snowboarder from this perilous situation, preventing extended exposure to potentially lethal toxic gases."
The story of the heroic rescue unfolds through a series of interviews with the rescuers, the snowboarder who fell into the volcano, and cell phone footage captured by another snowboarder who witnessed the incident. This multi-dimensional narrative offers a gripping account of the courageous efforts that saved a life from the depths of the volcano.
