Answer
Why is air rescue used in canyoning accidents on Mallorca, and what limits does it face?
Air rescue can speed transfer from hard‑to‑reach sites; a doctor on board can stabilize patients before they reach hospital. Its effectiveness depends on wind, visibility, and landing options, so it isn’t a universal solution.
