The remarkable rescue of a Chadderton father of three who survived a horrific fall while out walking near Dovestones will be featured in a BBC TV show tomorrow (April 12).

On February 23 last year, Imran Choudhury was training in Saddleworth for a Kilimanjaro sponsored walk he was due to take part in for the NHS.

He stopped at the famous Trinnacle landmark and asked two passers-by to take his photograph.

When he started climbing back down, he blacked out and fell 200ft and was left clinging to a 50-degree slope in the ravine.

Initially, an  18-strong squad from Oldham Mountain Rescue Team rushed to the scene where he was winched from the bottom of the crag to a waiting Yorkshire Air Ambulance and flown to Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital intensive care unit for urgent medical treatment.

Imran was left with a plethora of serious injuries including a bleed on the brain.

He was in intensive care in a coma for three weeks with injuries to every bone in his body except those in his left arm.

Imran, from south Chadderton, was told that he is “lucky to be alive”.

He spent just under two months in hospital before he was discharged on April 19.

Imran said: “When I woke up from the coma I didn’t know where I was or what had happened. I thought that I was in Bangladesh. It took some time to realise the extent of my injuries.”

Now the rescue is to feature on 'Close Calls - on Camera' which is due to air on BBC One on Tuesday.

Since his fall, Imran has raised more than £3,600 in gratitude for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and plans additional fundraising for the Oldham Mountain Rescue Team.

He said: “I am hopeful the frame surrounding my damaged leg is going to be removed next week. That is another move on the road to recovery.”
