Fire and Rescue NSW Crews attend skydiving mishap - Moruya

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews have helped save a skydiver, who landed in a tree on Tuesday at Moruya.

FRNSW personnel joined NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, State Emergency Service and NSW Rural Fire Service crews to reach the man.

The skydiver found himself hanging upside down, stuck in the tree, around 40-metres off the ground near the Moruya Airport.

The man manoeuvred himself into a fork of the tree where he then turned himself upright.

An arborist from the skydiving company accessed the parachutist by climbing above him and attaching ropes that allowed FRNSW crews to lower him to the ground.

The rescue took approximately two and a half hours, and the man was uninjured.
