A video footage unveils the impressive skills of a Romanian helicopter pilot who effectively steered his aircraft in reverse in a very dangerous area of Piatra Craiului Massif in Romania. Constantin Apăvăloaei appears to make what Daily Mail Online calls “jaw-dropping maneuvers” to allow his colleagues to save an injured tourist trapped on a cliff at 2000 meter altitude, after a professional rescue team of the SMURD medical service failed to accomplish the airlifting mission (SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO).

Apăvăloaie, from the private company Corbex Helicopters in Brasov, slowly flew the chopper backwards into position before the rescuers climbed down to the troubled hiker, who had fallen about 30 meters into a crevasse.

Then, they quickly lifted the 44-year-old woman up, before the pilot moved away to safety.

The rescue operation at the top of the mountain took under 10 minutes in overall. The woman was badly injured as the harsh fall caused her a fractured femur, forearm and a head trauma. She was taken to hospital in Târgu Mureș after the private helicopter took off for the second time.

According to Romanian media outlets, a SMURD rescue team had arrived at the incident scene much earlier but could not make it to the victim. The SMURD pilot circled the area for more than an hour before concluding he was unable to complete the mission.

Despite being seen as a hero worldwide, Apavaloaie is now subject to an investigation as the local authorities seem to blame him for taking extra risks during his mission. The probe has been launched by the Romanian Department for Emergency Situations, whose head Raed Arafat, believes that private rescuers might have ‘risked a little extra than the SMURD helicopter pilots’.

“The pilots are very good, but probably have some restrictions,” said Constantin Apăvăloaie adding that “the woman was seriously injured and was vital to take her quickly out of the crevasse. She suffered a broken femur and forearm, and a dislocated shoulder. She had also a head trauma.”

The fact that SMURD pilots might have had strict orders appears to be confirmed also by the victim, Mrs. Oana Teca, who said: “A SMURD helicopter came in but they stayed at a distance of about one kilometer. For two hours, SMURD have not let them get any closer”.
