An Arizona man is lucky to be in one piece after reportedly falling headfirst off a cliff while hiking in Switzerland.

25-year-old Logan Moore tumbled 50 feet into a ravine while backpacking with his cousin, according to Fox 10. “I took a video the second before I fell,” Moore told the outlet.

The fall reportedly occurred when Moore attempted to get a good shot of the mountain with his camera before slipping on wet rock and moss and plummeting off the edge of the cliff. He fell 25 before being knocked unconscious after hitting a rock on the way down, the outlet reported.

However, the fall did not stop there. “That platform on my back and that momentum sent me into the crevice where I fell another 25 feet head first into the crevice and where I got stuck at the bottom,” the hiker recalled to the outlet.

Moore reportedly returned to consciousness as he waited for the mountain rescue personnel to find him. “I accepted what it is and kind of said some goodbyes. At that point, I didn’t know if I was going to make it out. Then, once I heard my cousin’s voice and my friends overhead, I knew that they weren’t going to go anywhere until I was freed,” he told the outlet.

Fortunately, a helicopter located the young man approximatley 20 minutes after his fall, Fox 1o reported. “Then he was able to put the harness around my legs and over my left shoulder, and they had to bring me up about ten feet and then traverse a little bit, like ten feet because it was so skinny, the crevice was so small,” Moore recounted to the outlet.

Adisyn Mathenia, Moore’s cousin, was relieved at the outcome. “It was traumatic but it was kind of, like, best case scenario,” Mathenia told KPLCTV. “This was also a big deal for them because they don’t do very many helicopter rescues like this. Normally when they do it, it’s to extract a body.”

Mathenia communicated with her cousin after the fall. “So I start asking him questions, you know, like ‘What do you see? Are you pinned? Are you able to move?’” she told the outlet.

Moore suffered multiple fractures from the fall, the outlet reported.

The rescue team reportedly lifted Moore out of the ravine after attaching him to the aircraft and took him to the hospital. “I am beyond grateful for that rescue team,” Moore’s mother, who immediately flew to Switzerland to retrieve her son, told Fox 10.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
