An Oregon hunter who fell out of his tree stand and got tangled in his safety harness has been rescued after hanging upside-down for two days about 30 feet from the ground.
The Union County Sheriff’s Department said another hunter found the man and called 911.
Rescuers needed a bucket truck and ladder to reach him.
They say man’s heart stopped beating about halfway through the rescue because blood flow that had been cut off to his lower body was suddenly restored.
Rescuers were prepared for that possibility and had established a landing zone for a helicopter to airlift him to a local hospital.
