Newly released GoPro footage shows the moments, a 26-year-old volleyball player slipped and fell 50 feet from a Hawaii waterfall and survived. Just one week before a volleyball tournament, Heather Friesen was hiking Honolulu’s Ka’au Crater Trail in February 2016. Fascinated by one of the trail’s waterfalls, Friesen excitedly switched on her GoPro and decided to take a closer look. “I was up at the top just trying to look over the edge of the waterfall. And I got too close and I ended up slipping and falling off the waterfall,” said Friesen.“It was about a 40 to 50-foot fall … It was pretty much a free fall. There was a little ridge off to the left and I tried to grab on … But that was too slippery so I just kept falling.” Friesen said a “random” hiker happened to pass by and was able to contact a rescue team. Meanwhile, a group from the church Friesen attends happened to be on the hike as well, and rushed to help. She was airlifted to a hospital, where doctors learned she had 10 broken ribs, a collapsed left lung and a fractured left shoulder blade. As for how she’s doing now, “I have fully recovered and nothing hurts when I play, which is a miracle in and of itself,” says Friesen in an interview.
