An injured hiker was taken for a dizzying ride in Phoenix, Arizona, when the basket of a rescue helicopter began spinning wildly as she was airlifted.
The 75-year old woman fell at Piestewa Peak, a mountain in the middle of the city, injuring her face.
Footage from ABC showed that as helicopter crews attempted to lift her in a basket, she began to spin faster and faster.
A local fire official said she was treated for nausea and dizziness, but was otherwise unharmed from the ride.
He did not comment on her condition from her original fall.
I need nausea medication just watching this. I count 100 spins in just over a minute, and there were a couple dozen more after.
