A California man was injured in a BASE jumping accident on the morning of Monday, November 7th. William Fleming, 23, sustained minor injuries when his parachutes was blown onto rocks following an illegal jump from a park cliff. Rescue personnel found Fleming high up in granite rock and boulder formations on the northwest slopes of Ryan Mountain near an area known as the Oyster Bar. He was treated at the scene by search and rescue personnel, airlifted to a nearby parking area, and then taken by ambulance to Desert Regional Hospital in Palm Springs. The park's SAR team was supported by emergency personnel from San Bernardino County Fire Engine 36, Morongo Basin Ambulance, two Riverside County helicopters, and a California Highway Patrol helicopter.
