I think given it was 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: over the four days in the issue break, I think 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: we didn't see as many major cases as we may 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: have expected, so or and all, I think we've had 20 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: a fairly well behaved each weekend by the territories, which 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: has been fantastic for up Well. 22 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: That is good to hear. 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: I know though. 24 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: On Friday, well about eleven thirty in the evening on 25 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: Wood Straight, Darwin City, a nineteen year old male fell 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: between two buildings trying to access his residents. 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting one. We responded to the 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: case where the male looks like he'd been out for 29 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: the day, wasn't able to access his residents, had decided 30 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: then to traverse between two buildings. It's about three meters 31 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: high on a pipe. He slipped on that pipe and 32 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: his score and three meters between those buildings. He's thankfully 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: landed on his feet and he's managed to sort of 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: get to his mobile phone and obviously call Triple zero 35 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: for assistant. He was able to be extricated with the 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: assystems of empty police and he was transported with fairly 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: minor injuries, which is very lucky considering the mechanism involved 38 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: the potential for injury. 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: Goodness me very lucky. Indeed, so relatively relatively minor injuries, 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: wasn't it. 41 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think in the end it was sort 42 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: of more cut to brazins and bruising that they have 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: potential for some serious injuries given given the height and 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: given the situation involved. 45 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: And on that same day. On Good Friday five point fifteen, 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: in the afternoon at the Litchfield National Park, hiker fell 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: and sustained some minor injuries as well. 48 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, this ended up been quite a complete case. We 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: ranges with the help of rangers, Anti police and the 50 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 2: Bachelor Clinic. They tried to access that patient and even 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: carefight was involved as well, but they are unable to 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: get into that patient during the night, so I was 53 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: until the next morning the police have actually accessed along 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: the trail and been able to extricate and bring that 55 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: patient out who had some relatively minor injuries but enough 56 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: that needed assistance. And so basually St. John's were just 57 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: involved in the transport of that patient, but terrific efforts 58 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: by police, ranges and the Bachelor Clinic to get that 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: patient out of such a difficult location. 60 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon. And then on Monday, twenty four year 61 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: old Mail climb seven stories and jumped approximately two meters 62 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: across to another pole. 63 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is another one, you know, like I spoke 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: about with the earlier with the fall between the buildings, 65 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: this is another one that could have had had the potential, 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: sorry to be quite quite a serious case and potential 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: for some serious injuries. So, yeah, this male has decided 68 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: to climb up quite high on the building and then 69 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: he has made the jump. I think it was a 70 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: big crowd that has gathered to watch this so thankfully 71 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: made that jump and he's been able to be brought 72 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: back down to the ground and with the bisiness of police. 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: And there's John our Cruise who was transported for further 74 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: assessment at Ardie Yates but again thankfully no major injuries 75 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: in this time. 76 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Any idea what he was doing. 77 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: Oh look, I'm not sure what was going on through 78 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: what was going on in his head at the time, 79 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: but you know, I think he's had a fairly large 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: day and obviously wanted to be a bit more at adventure 81 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: and in some excitement, but put himself and out of 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: a great risk by taking those taking those steps quite 83 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: I reckon. 84 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: Yeah.
