Injured man winched from rocks into coastguard helicopter

August 05, 2025

AN EMERGENCY rescue operation came to the aid of a 61-year-old man who suffered a suspected broken ankle after falling on rocks near Barry Island.

The incident took place at Dams Bay, east of Rhoose Point.

The coastguard sent Barry Dock’s RNLI volunteer crew to the man’s aid, but when they reached him, he was not able to be rescued by sea because of his pain and the rocky location where he was located.

A coastguard rescue helicopter was then called to the scene to assist, and the man was winched into the helicopter and flown to hospital.
