As our medic was already suited up, they decided to lower him down to the patient to save time.
The patient was assessed and found to have only suffered minor injuries.
He was then attached to the medic's harness via a sling and both were lifted back up to the platform just before 8 am.
He was transported to Northdale hospital by the other private emergency service on the scene for further care."
