This dude Valdas Bieliauskas is one tough lithuanian mother... er. There is 2 part video on Youtube about it. Thanks to Aussie rescue teams who were able to save his life.

Inside the moment rescuers knew they had to harm a dying man to save him

When a white-water rafter fell into the Franklin River, it triggered an extraordinary rescue mission that pushed everyone to the brink.

Watched it the last couple of weeks on Australian story really bloody good.





The dude was incredibly lucky to survive, Tasmania is the smallest state, has a population of about 550,000, its also one of the oldest states because most of the young people leave for the mainland. Having watched the show I'm surprised that Tassie had the resources to sustain the rescue effort to begin with, and then have the capacity at Royal Hobart to save the man. He's a lucky bastard RHH just went through a massive upgrade that included the building of the helipad, but its still a "small" hospital in terms of trauma. Its fairly common for doctors to fly down to Hobart to perform specialist procedures and not uncommon for critical patients that are somewhat stable being flown up to the Melbourne for treatment and specialist care in their ICU.

But yeah Australian Story is a good little show.

I love survival stories. If we had shows like that here I could watch less news, which inevitably only infuriates me these days. Even with HBO and Netflix and full cable, 95% tripe!

If you love harrowing cases of surviving near certain death, you should listen to the accounts of young backpackers that escaped @FalseFlagg K car while hitchhiking. If he offers you some boiled lollies, ****ing run!!!
 
One question, did they get his leg out of there or just leave it in the river? Is it still stuck under that rock? Crazy story though.

No chance I’m getting into a stranger’s car in the Outback unless it’s Mad Max himself. Forget the Mad Max franchise, Wolf Creek was frickin brutal! Between the psychos and the Great Whites and snakes and spiders, can see why they call it Down Under. :oops:

wolf creek was brutal. I remember going to see that at the cinema when it was released, i've never seen so many people walk out of a movie. When we went to have a drink after we sat in silence for like 10 minutes That was some disturbing ****
