A man named Ken Nurse fell around 120 feet into McDonald Creek at Glacier National Park in Montana while reportedly taking a photograph from an overlook, tumbling over a set of waterfalls on 13 August. He survived the fall thanks to the intervention of a bystander, who helped him after he went into the water, though full details of how the rescue unfolded were not fully confirmed in initial reports.

Nurse had been visiting the park with his wife, family and friends when the fall occurred. Glacier National Park, known for its dramatic cliffs and waterways, has seen a number of visitor safety incidents in recent times, underscoring the risks posed by unfenced overlooks near steep drops and fast-moving water.
