A Puyallup man said he’s lucky to be alive after surviving a nearly 200-foot fall down a cliff near Mount Rainier.
Anthony Harris told KIRO 7 he was dirt bike riding with friends around 12:40 p.m. last Friday. He said he stepped off his bike for a water break, helmet in hand, when the ground suddenly gave way beneath him.
“I didn’t have time to react. It was instant,” Anthony said. “Within a moment’s notice, I was flying down this cliff. No way to grab anything, there was nothing to brace onto, so I was just going down, and I woke up in the hospital.”
The Buckey Fire Department and the Pierce County Search and Rescue Team set up a high-angle rope system to pull him up from the cliffside.
