First of all, I am aware Rega is not a taxi service and they shouldn’t be called except in an emergency. That being said… I was hiking in the Alps and camped out ~2000m. There was a light storm during the early night as expected but nothing serious. As I continued my hike I discovered my path was blocked during the night; and on the way back same thing. So. I was stuck. Long story short, after trying other solutions, I felt the need of calling Rega for the first time in my life and they kindly flew over and picked me up by rope… what I didn’t expect was to be hanging off the side of the helicopter and flown through the sky. I really thought they’ll drag me into the helicopter. And my God, I thought I would be terrified but that was so much fun. It was a short ride till the next safe spot where they dropped me off, but it was really amazing to fly in the sky looking down at the deep valleys and mountains. So yes, being flown through the sky is a lot of fun and an amazing feeling. But don’t call rega just for that lol submitted by /u/TheRealMudi
