A dramatic video shows the dizzying rescue of a helicopter injured hiker

A dramatic video shows a vertiginous rescue by helicopter Tuesday after a woman injured herself during a trek in Arizona.

According to the Phoenix Fire Department, the victim was injured in the face and head as a result of a fall to the ground.

Aged 74, Piestewa Peak was climbing the summit when the incident occurred, according to ABC News TV channel KNXV-TV. The helicopter's information channel recorded the rescue, which shows the woman escaping all control while she was being raised in the air and flown to a nearby hospital for medical attention .

The landing zone was 800 meters from where the woman had been wounded, authorities said.

The patient is currently in stable condition and has no adverse effects of rotation except for minor vertigo and nausea, according to hospital officials.

While the rescue seems a bit chaotic, Phoenix fire captain Bobby Dubnow says the woman was safe in a bag and a basket containing "several packing points".

Spinning, though rare, may occur during relief transportation, but teams are trained in this task, said Dubnow at a press conference.

The bypass occurs when the cart approaches a helicopter and interacts like a windmill, according to the chief pilot of the Phoenix Police Air Force, Paul Apolinar. Ground firefighters generally hold the line to help reduce spinning.

Forward flight usually helps prevent this from happening during the rescue, according to Deek Geisel helicopter operator.

The helicopter used for the rescue has been hoisted 210 times in the last six years, according to Apolinar. The spinning took place twice during this period.
