South Carolina hiker dies after plunging down 100-foot waterfall

南卡罗莱纳一名徒步旅行者从100英尺高的瀑布坠落身亡

A South Carolina man died after falling off a waterfall in North Carolina as fellow hikers looked on, authorities and witnesses said.

当局和目击者说，一名南卡罗来纳州男子在北卡罗来纳州的一处瀑布上坠落身亡，同行的徒步旅行者都在围观。

Aaron Post, 28, of Charleston, died from his injuries sustained after falling early Saturday from near the top of Big Bradley Falls, a 100-foot waterfall in Polk County, WLOS reported.

据WLOS报道，28岁的亚伦·波斯特来自查尔斯顿，周六凌晨他从波尔克县高达100英尺的大布拉德利瀑布顶端附近坠落，不幸身亡。

“I turned around and I just watched him slide down the waterfall,” Post’s friend George Hugg told the station.

波斯特的朋友乔治·雨格对电视台说：“我转过身，就看到他从瀑布上滑下来。”

Post was airlifted out of the rugged, rural area as more than 50 rescuers responded to the scene, including some who rappelled down to the base of the waterfall, which is known to be a “dangerous area” where several people have previously died, according to NCWaterfalls.com.

据NCWaterfalls.com报道，当50多名救援人员赶到现场时，波斯特已被飞机从崎岖的农村地区空运了出来，其中包括一些从瀑布底部攀爬而下的救援人员。众所周知，该瀑布是一个“危险区域”，此前已有多人死亡。

Post, who was in critical condition when he arrived at a hospital Saturday, later died from his injuries, authorities told WLOS on Sunday as rescuers shared condolences on social media.

当局周日告诉WLOS，波斯特周六抵达医院时情况危急，后来因伤势过重死亡，救援人员在社交媒体上表达了哀悼之情。

“Although the outcome is not what anyone wants, everyone worked together as a team to make sure this patient had the best care and extraction they could,” the Henderson County Rescue Squad posted on Facebook. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this difficult time.”

亨德森县救援队在脸书上写道:“虽然结果不是每个人都想要的，但大家都齐心协力，确保这个病人得到最好的护理和救助。”“在这艰难的时刻，我们向家人和朋友表示慰问和祈祷。”

“Hike at your own risk – the trail is primitive and requires crossing the stream,” the website reads. “Proper hiking shoes required. The trail is especially dangerous at the top of the falls.”

相关网站上写道：“徒步旅行的风险由你自己承担——这条小路很原始，需要穿过小溪。”“需要合适的登山鞋。瀑布的顶端尤其危险。”
