90 minutes for the medical team to arrive. Makes one wonder if it had been possible to save the man with a quick response. However, that might be impossible depending on how hard it is to come to the place.

It might well be that it took quite some time to raise the alarm - language, remoteness of the accident etc - and then time to assemble the rescue squad ( who would all be volunteers) from the nearest small town, and get them to the scene.

Here in the US, tourists are regularly scraped from the bottom of the Grand Canyon because they routinely ignore all posted warnings in order to get that "killer" selfie.

The phone maybe a "smart-one' but the user is often not!
