A 72-year-old member from Culver City, United States, was trekking near the Phungi Thenga Bridge in the Khumjung region of Nepal when she slipped on a wet rocky trail and fell several feet. She activated an emergency alert through her communication device and reported severe pain in her right leg and hip and an inability to continue walking, along with some lightheadedness but no other symptoms. Given her age, the mechanism of injury and her inability to self-extricate, the operations team approved a helicopter evacuation from the trail to a hospital in Lukla. X-rays there showed no fractures, and she was diagnosed with a soft tissue injury to the right upper thigh and discharged in stable condition.
