PLEASANT GROVE — A hiker shares her safety message, saying several families at a popular Utah County waterfall watched a rappelling accident in shock and horror.
"I immediately noticed that the water was a lot heavier than it has been in years past," she said, walking up to the falls on Thursday. "I noticed that she had nobody belaying her, or at least doing a fireman hold watching from below," Fullmer recalled. "She had one leg under her, and her other leg had come up past her head like this, like she was doing splits on the side of the wall," Fullmer explained, using her arms to demonstrate the unnatural and contorted position."And after that happened, she hung there for a moment and then passed out," she said."I started running up the hill to go to the top. Her companions at the top had no clue at first what was going on," Fullmer recounted.
"I was so grateful," Fullmer said. The group appeared to not want Fullmer's assistance, so she continued the hike with her husband and daughter.
