This was presumably from Towanroath Cavern
Previously heard of a caver falling off trying to climb up the difficult climbs out of the cave (pitches unless you are a good climber) & breaking an ankle, having been cut off by the tide (which is probably even easier to do now lots of the beach disappeared in the winter storms).
A rescue would be possible through the pitches/traverses in the cave, but not sure of the Coastguard are trained for anything involving more that direct pitches.
