Maurice’s wife carried his head over the water to prevent him from drowning while waiting for the rescuers arriving after Morris was installed by the rock, which was destroyed by a picnic near a remote ice south of Anchorage.
The second stroke came from luck when a dog tourism company that works on the iceberg in the transmission 911 and offered its helicopter to rescue spices to the scene, which could not have been accessed for terrain vehicles.

The Chief of Kinard Firetractive Clendon Ansiz said they wanted to avoid the large crowds that converge in the community of the Kenai Peninsula during the holidays and decided to walk near Godwin ice on an isolated and non -sophisticated trail behind the Seoard prison.
Their path was actually a Rocky Kreik bed built on large rocks that the iceberg deposited.
Morris said that he noticed dangerous rocks, some weighing up to 1,000 pounds, along the shores of the creek and avoided them with the best of what he could, until he ran to an area he could not pass.
“I was going back and everything, the whole side slipped from me,” he said.
He said that things became blurry as he fell on the bridge about 20 feet, and fell down in the water.
Then he immediately felt that Bolder hit his back in what Qenta described as “basically rocks collapsing.”
Chris said that the way Morris fell, there was rocks under him, between his legs and around him, which caught the weight of the rock, which prevents him from crushing. But the huge rock is still hanging, and Morris felt very pain in the left leg and waited for the thigh bone to leak.
“When this happened for the first time, I was doubting that there was a good result,” Morris said.

His wife tried to free him for about 30 minutes, put the rocks under the rock and try to wrap it, before she left to find a cell sign.
Surprisingly, she only had to walk about 300 yards to communicate with 911 and relied on her law enforcement experience to send accurate GPS coordinates to send.
A volunteer in the neighboring Bir Kreik extinguishing department heard the invitation while working in the tourism of the skilled dog and said the helicopter used to transport tourists to the scene of the accident.

The National Guard helicopter in Alaska brought them out of the creek bed with a rescue basket.
Morris spent two nights in the local hospital for surveillance, but he moved away safely.
“I fully expected the body to recover, and it has no walking without scratching it,” Crets said.
Morris, who is now thinking about his ordeal at home, has admitted that he might be an invitation to wake up a little to stop doing things like this in his time.
He said: “I was very lucky. God was looking for me.”
