A 40-year-old Colorado woman is lucky to be alive after she plunged 200 feet down a trail in California’s San Gabriel Mountains during a Christmas Eve hike.
Ruth Woroniecki, of Thornton, had left her campground in Lytle Creek to hike up to Cucamonga Peak and was making her way back when she took the terrifying tumble...
Another hiker spotted the badly injured woman and contacted authorities...Using crampons and an ice ax, the hiker reached Woroniecki and stayed with her along with other hikers until rescuers arrived to hoist her to safety...
Woroniecki suffered a serious head injury and a fractured neck.
Officials said Woroniecki was wearing tennis shoes and did not have ice-climbing equipment on the perilous trek.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said Woroniecki underwent her first surgery on Tuesday and was in stable condition.

“Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?”
That’s twice now you’ve made me laugh out loud, thank you!
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Bob’s point was that his time in a Turkish prison was a tad more exciting and dangerous than hiking the Andes in flip-flops!
:-P

You know that Bob was in a Turkish prison?
You know that she hiked in flip-flops?

I’m not supposed to like someone that I disagree with.
But you’re welcome!
“That’s twice now you’ve made me laugh out loud, thank you!”
And I just couldn’t see where the guy was coming from. Normally, he only shows up on electric car threads, and I couldn’t link it to that, so I answered in kind, with a random question (from a great movie, of course).
I might not agree with you on everything but you have a good sense of humor and I can appreciate you for that. Plus you’re a FReeper and that’s always a good thing!

It was not God’s will that she die.

YO, BRO,
“Y’know Nietzsche...”, ENDED HIS DAYS IN AN INSANE ASYLUM. YA COULD SAY THAT’S WHAT KILLED HIM...EVENTUALLY.
(EXCUSE MY CAPS. EYES PROBLEM.)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (JUST IN CASE THAT DAMNED ASTEROID FINALLY HITS BEFORE THEN!)
“ I was hoping someone would help. Not exactly “Smith” or “Jones”.”
Well Bob, this is America.
We have lots of different last names .
You appear to be fishing to say something that you won’t say out loud .
Democrats and liberals like categorize humans just like sorting livestock.
Conservatives don’t do that.
The "hmmmm" that I have is how Woroniecki is pronounced--"voronyetski" (the Polish way) or "woroneeki" (the English way)?
Bob thinks people with Polish ancestors are shady in some way.
Not sure what groups of Americans Bob will find acceptable.
“The “hmmmm” that I have is how Woroniecki is pronounced”
Thanks, that’s what I was interested in.
Just seeing that lady sitting like that give me shivers. Flat lander here.
How many people had to risk their lives to rescue this whack job?
