Inspector Bob



'Inspector Bob' is a fictitious character personifying the trials and tribulations
of adventurous souls who end up in actual news headlines because of the situations
they have placed themselves in through ignorance and/or indifference.







I Slipped

Inspector Bob is in hospital after sliding 20 metres down a gully in the Rocky Mountains

Inspector Bob, in his mid-20's, and two friends were hiking up Grotto Mountain in Canmore, 80 kilometres west of Calgary

A Kananaskis public safety specialist, says Bob lost his footing and tumbled to a rock ledge below. He says the extent of Bob's injuries are not known at this time, adding that he has lots of scrapes and possible internal injuries

At the time of the accident, the trio were scrambling -- a cross between hiking and free climbing where hands rather than ropes are used to hoist the climber
    After the fall, one of the hikers clambered for more than half an hour to get out of the area and find RCMP while the other stayed with his injured friend

A helicopter was then enlisted to carry out the rescue. The helicopter was met by an ambulance which transported him to Canmore hospital

Inspector Bob is listed in stable condition.
