A thrilling rescue operation unfolded near Moab, Utah, earlier this week, when a BASE jumper was saved in a dramatic scene captured on video and shared across social media platforms.

The intense footage, recorded by Danielle Mick, reveals the tension-filled rescue on Wednesday, as emergency responders approached the BASE jumper, whose vibrant rainbow parachute was entangled on a canyon wall at Kane Creek.

According to Grand County Emergency Services, the call for help came in around 1:00 p.m. that day. It wasn’t until 3:15 p.m. that officers managed to reach the stranded jumper, whose identity remains undisclosed.

Following the successful rescue, the Grand County Sheriff’s Department took to Facebook to announce that the BASE jumper was safely retrieved. The individual received advanced medical care for moderate injuries before being airlifted to a designated landing area by 4:00 p.m.

In the video, a first responder descends from a helicopter to reach the ill-fated jumper as wind whips the snagged parachute along the canyon face. The video of the daring rescue, originally shared to Facebook, is nearly 20 minutes long.

According to Moab BASE Access, Utah Chapter, a 501(c)3 organization, “BASE jumping on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management that surround Moab is legal,” and “BASE jumping is all fun and games until you are smashed up on the talus and need rescue and surgery.” Moab BASE Access did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Each Utah county’s respective sheriff’s office is responsible for their own search and rescue operations, according to the Utah Search and Rescue Association.

“While yesterday’s incident gained public attention because it was visible from town — these types of rescues are exactly what we train for and do on a pretty regular basis,” wrote Grand County EMS on Facebook. “It’s a privilege to serve this community alongside such dedicated professionals, and to bring people home safely.”
