| Tourist rescued
from canyon

NORTH SHORE emergency crews were called to Lynn Canyon
Park’s $0-foot pool area twice over the weekend to rescue swim-
mers.

Tomoso Kiss, 18, visiting the Vancouver area with his family
from Budapest, Hungary, fell approximately 40 feet while climbing
down ie the river near the pool.

According to North Vancouver District Fire Department assis-
tant chief Bruce Ramsay, Kiss slipped, feil and fractured an ankle.
He suffered lacerations to his other ankle and scalp lacerations.

Kiss landed in the creek and was pulled unconscious and bleeding
from the water by swimmers nearby.

A firefighter and an ambulasce crew member were lowered down
to assist the youth, who was pulled out on a stretcher and trens-
ported to Lions Gate Hospital.

On Monday, rescue crews seturned to 90-foot pool, after a Van-
couver man injured himself and was trapped on a ledge beside the
pool.

Ramsay said the man wrenched his back after swimming over the
falls and inte the pool. The current dragged him under, but he
managed to climb out to safety. A firefighter rappelled 136 feet
down a cliff to reach the man, who was shaken by the incident.

Monday's rescue call was the sixth to the canyon this year. Said
Ramsay: ‘They like to go for a swim and shoot over the falls.

They think it’s great fun, but it’s not the safest thing to do. There's
4H a very strong current in 99-foot pool.”
