After saying ‘Yes,’ woman falls off cliff

A woman fell off a cliff after accepting a marriage proposal near Great Falls, Md., and had to be rescued by a helicopter, U.S. Park Police said.

Shortly after the man proposed on Sunday afternoon, the new bride-to-be slipped off the path into rocks near the Billy Goat Trail, injuring her head and chest. Montgomery County’s Fire and Rescue Unit arrived by boat and rescuers climbed 100 feet to reach the woman. She was placed on a gurney where a U.S. Park Police helicopter hoisted her to safety. The woman’s injuries were serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Officials would not identify the couple.
