A 32-year-old man is currently hospitalized with serious injuries following a cliff jumping accident that took place earlier this month. The incident occurred at Alberts Lake, located approximately 20 kilometres east of Flin Flon, Manitoba.
RCMP received a report about the injured man on the evening of July 18. Responders were informed that all-terrain vehicles would be necessary due to the lack of road access to the lake. They located the man, who had been cliff jumping and subsequently struck rocks, about five kilometres down a trail.
A 31-year-old woman was with the injured man and managed to transport him to shore in a boat. She provided him with initial first aid before emergency services arrived. The man was then airlifted to a hospital in Saskatoon, where he remains and is recovering from his severe injuries.
