A young woman was rescued and taken to hospital Wednesday after she slipped and fell into a deep pool in Lynn Canyon Park. District Fire Crews used a specially designed vacuum immobilization device and a twin tensioned rope system to successfully extricate an injured swimmer from 90' pool in Lynn Canyon. "We had a rescue boat go out with the team," he said, adding she was put on a stretcher before being lifted out by rope rescue onto the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge. 'It's never safe'Although it is not prohibited to jump off the Lynn Canyon cliffs, the district and rescuers discourage it. Although the cliffs of Lynn Canyon are popular with swimmers, officials say it's highly dangerous.
