A 74-year-old hiker whose head and face were injured in a fall on a Phoenix mountain endured a wild ride in a stretcher as she was being hoisted into a helicopter.

KPNX-TV's television chopper recorded the mishap as the rescue crew lifted the injured hiker from Piestewa Peak on Tuesday morning. The crew said a second line meant to prevent the spinning broke, causing the stretcher to spin ever-faster in the backwash of the helicopter's rotor blades.

"Sometimes if we're in a canyon, or a strong windy day, it will just spin on us," said Paul Apolinar, the helicopter pilot. "It doesn't happen very often, and when it does we're trained to take care of it."

Eventually, the rescue copter's forward motion slowed the spinning enough to bring the woman into the cabin.
