The Cave Rescue Organisation at 6.57pm on Friday to reports that a female expeditioner had twisted a knee and dislocated at kneecap after slipping at Malham Cove.
A spokesperson for the Cave Rescue Organisation said: “A female expeditioner slipped on the seriously slippery limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove, twisting a knee and dislocating the kneecap.
“After assessment and pain relief, a team paramedic reduced the dislocation, thus easing the pain, before the casualty was helped into an insulated bag and lifted onto a Bell stretcher.
“This was carried very carefully from the pavement before being sledged and carried down the hill and onto the hardened path where a team Land Rover was waiting to take the casualty to a Yorkshire Ambulance Service road ambulance in the main car park, where the rain seemed to have eased a bit.”
