“Just after 10:30 a.m., EMS paramedics did respond to the Troll Falls area to transport an adult male to Canmore General Hospital via ground ambulance,” said Adam Loria, Alberta Health Services public education officer. “[He was] in stable, non-life threatening condition, however, he did sustain a serious injury.”
A serious injury sustained on what is deemed a family-friendly hike in Kananaskis Country serves as a stark reminder to exercise caution no matter where users find themselves in the backcountry.
