Episode Details

A Montana nurse named David Cifaldi survived a harrowing mountain accident when a trekking pole pierced his back—no organs hit, no helicopter needed. With his buddies, he self-rescued down a treacherous slope using satellite tech to guide rescuers, who monitored but respected his choice. He made it to his own hospital, had the pole removed, and was back at work this week. His decision? Driven by cost, experience, and a clear head—and he’d do it again 99 times out of 100.
