Rescue: River Deep, Mountain High

Ireland's national champion surfer Gearoid McDaid takes a serious fall in the surf and badly injures his leg, so members of the Irish Tow Surf Rescue Club are asked to pick him up and lead him to safety. The Kinder Mountain Rescue Team is called to a mountain biker who's fallen over the handlebars and torn an artery. His life is in the balance and it is only the quick thinking of a passer-by and the prompt arrival of the rescue team and air ambulance that ensures his survival.
