A MAN who tried to jump Tryfan's Adam and Eve rocks has ended up in hospital after falling five-metres.

The man fell "some distance to the ground" and suffered head and spinal injuries.

Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation posted on Facebook today (August 16): "Jumping from Sion a Sián/Adam and Eve on Tryfan's summit is exhilarating and makes for some great pictures, but it isn't without risk.

"The team were called out on Monday afternoon after a man failed while jumping from Sion a Sián falling some distance to the ground. With reports of head and spinal injuries, Maritime and Coastguard Agency Rescue 936 were requested and they deployed the winchman to assess the casualty.

"The winchman requested additional help to control the growing number of people on the summit and also help in packaging the casualty.

"Six team members were winched onto the mountain."

Once in the stretcher, the casualty was flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd for treatment.

"One of the team commented it was lucky our casualty jumped right to left and 'only' fell five metres. A jump from left to right would result in a fall of several hundred metres.

"If you are unsure, maybe consider leaning against them instead."
