Alberta family seek good samaritans who helped son after 6-storey fall at Banff's Bow Falls

A Calgary man who was rescued following an 18-metre — or six-storey — fall off a ledge at Banff’s Bow Falls is recovering “remarkably,” according to his father.

Twenty-three-year-old Jaron Rosso was hiking with his girlfriend on Friday, when he reportedly veered off the trail and got “turned around”.

“He thought he was taking a short cut and ended up in a spot he shouldn’t have been in,” dad Jason Rosso told Global News. “I think his footing gave away and he just slipped.”

Jaron was airlifted from the falls via helicopter long line and eventually transported to hospital in Calgary. Now that his son is on the mend, the elder Rosso is busy tracking down the “heroes” who he said got him there.
