A potholer was stretchered out of a cave in Malham in a dramatic rescue at the weekend.

Or so the headline read this morning in the Craven Herald. Strangely, the link to the article is now returning a 404 error code.

In other news, the CRO remembered the anniversary of the incident in 1934 which led to its founding.

Clearly some incredibly well researched journalism going on there.

Not sure that they were stretched either!

The casualty was ‘stretchered’ out of the hole on a plank (supplied by the farmer at Rainscar), they have posted it in their incidents...

So my brain doesn't leap with irritation every time I glance at the thread listing, can a mod kindly correct the title by altering stretched to stretchered, please? Thank you in advance. It's driving my eyes nuts.

Addendum: unless, of course, the correct word was being used all along and a caver was genuinely elongated and dislocated in order to extract them. In which case ignore my earlier plea.

It was, indeed, "stretched", in one of its occurrences. The headline is still in my RSS feed: here's a screenshot. Only the 2nd one could be copied and pasted as plain text, which is why I used it. I hadn't actually noticed the error myself!
