Answer
Why are helicopter rescues common in Mallorca’s Tramuntana?
Helicopter rescues are often used because the terrain is steep, rocky and difficult to reach on foot. In some places, rescuers need to abseil down to the injured person before they can lift them out safely. The helicopter is usually the fastest option when the terrain makes a normal evacuation too slow or risky.
