At Mather Point Viewpoint on June 3, 2017, an intoxicated barefoot man ignored safety warnings, crossed a guardrail at 7,000ft for a better view, and fell 100ft into the Grand Canyon.
Despite immediate calls to 911, the rescue by helicopter took hours due to the challenging terrain. The man, identified as Cole Wagenknecht, was eventually retrieved with life-threatening injuries.
After the fall, Wagenknecht faced a dire struggle for survival, enduring two months in a coma and battling sepsis from infections in both deflated lungs.
Remarkably, he emerged from this critical condition, retaining his cognitive abilities, although his memory has been significantly affected.
