21-Year-Old Long Beach Man Rescued by Helicopter After 30-Foot Fall and Two Days Trapped Behind Seven Teacups Waterfall in Kern River Region

A 21-year-old man from Long Beach, California, was rescued after being trapped for two days behind the Seven Teacups waterfall near Springville in the Kern River region. The incident occurred when the force of the water pushed him off his climbing lines, causing him to fall 30 feet into the rocky water below. Law enforcement officials, including the Tulare County Sheriff's Office, coordinated a helicopter rescue operation. First responders successfully extracted the man, and both he and another victim rescued from a nearby raging river are expected to fully recover.
