A 20-year-old man was rock climbing at the "Grand Auditorium", a well-known climbing spot at the "Longdong Rock Climbing Field" in Gongliao District, New Taipei City, and fell from a height of about 5 meters. Firefighters rushed to the rescue and found that the man had injuries to his shoulder and back of his head. Although he was conscious, he was too seriously injured to walk. He notified the Air Service Corps helicopter to assist in hoisting him to the open space of the Four Seasons Marina and transferred him to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The Sixth Disaster Rescue Brigade of the New Taipei City Fire Department received the report at 12:35 p.m. and dispatched 16 vehicles and 31 search and rescue personnel to the rescue. The rescuers overcame terrain obstacles and contacted the rock climber at 1:30. They immediately bandaged him and conducted an emergency injury assessment. The incident occurred on a sea erosion platform with steep terrain, and the on-site rescue route was extremely difficult. After evaluation, the on-site search and rescue commander decided to apply for aerial rescue by helicopter from the Air Service Corps.

A helicopter from the Air Service Corps arrived, and the injured rock climber was flown to the Four Seasons Bay Marina for landing. The ambulance that gathered at the scene rushed him to Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment. As for the reason why the rock climber fell, it is still pending further police investigation to clarify.
