Emergency workers in Australia carried out a bizarre rescue operation on Saturday, saving a woman who’d managed to get herself trapped upside down between two boulders in search of her phone. Friends of Matilda Campbell, who’s reportedly in her early 20s, spent at least an hour trying to pull her by her ankles out of a 10-foot “S bend” in the stone before eventually calling the region’s ambulance service. The emergency team, made up of “multidisciplinary” workers, used a specialist winch to move one of the 500kg boulders aside before gradually freeing her from her “unlikely predicament” some seven hours after she’d first slipped in. “In my 10 years as a rescue paramedic I had never encountered a job quite like this,” one worker said. Campbell later posted on social media there’d be “no more rock exploration for me for a while” – presumably from a friend’s phone, given despite her very best efforts, her own remained lost to the rocky depths.
