A climber who fell about 300 meters down the face of a Scottish mountain was found by a rescue helicopter, standing up and studying a map with only cuts and bruises, the Guardian reports.

The 36-year-old man, who has been named as Adam Potter, from Glasgow, was in a group of four climbers who reached the 3,589-foot summit, about 5 miles from Ben Nevis, when he lost his footing and fell.

A paramedic was winched down to check him and found him bruised with a minor chest injury and some superficial cuts, although he was described as "shaking from extreme emotional shock and the sheer relief of still being alive." (点击《卫报》查看原文)

登山者高空坠落只受轻伤

       据英国《卫报》报道,一名登山者从苏格兰地区一座高峰跌下,在空中坠落300多米。当救援直升机赶到时,他居然站立着,正查看手中的地图,仅有几处皮外伤。

       这名来自英国格拉斯哥的36岁男子名叫亚当·波特,他与朋友结伴,一行四人登上了苏格兰地区一座3589英尺(约1094米)的山峰,这里位于英国境内最高峰本·尼维斯峰以东5英里,中途他失足跌落山谷。

       尽管这名登山者因为心理受到强烈刺激而浑身发抖,但救护人员经检查发现,除了皮肤割伤和擦伤以及轻微的胸部伤之外,其它并无大碍。
