“We’re just lucky we’re bringing our kid home in a car in the front seat instead of in a box,” the teen's dad said.
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — A 13-year-old North Dakota boy has survived a fall of nearly 100 feet at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon during a family trip.
The teenager was airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital for treatment of nine broken vertebrae plus a ruptured spleen, a collapsed lung, a concussion and a broken hand and dislocated finger. “It wasn’t that good of a grip. It was kind of pushing me back. I lost my grip and started to fall back,” he added.“I just remember somewhat waking up and being in the back of an ambulance and a helicopter and getting on a plane and getting here” to the hospital, said Kauffman, who lives in Casselton, North Dakota.A National Park Service search and rescue team set up a rope rescue down to the steep and narrow trail and raised the teen safely to the rim.
He said Wyatt and his mother were on a trip to visit national parks when the Grand Canyon fall occurred.
