SLADE, Ky. (AP) — Rescue crews say an Ohio man who was camping with friends in central Kentucky’s Red River Gorge is recovering after falling from a cliff while sleepwalking.
Powell County Emergency Management told WKYT-TV (http://bit.ly/1puqDGb) that the group had set up camp near Grey’s Arch Trail and the man’s friends called for help after realizing that he was missing in the middle of the night.
Wolfe County rope technician John May told the station the Cincinnati man, whose name wasn’t released, fell about 60 feet early Thursday and landed in an area with several large boulders.
He called it a “miracle” that the man survived. May said the camper suffered a head injury, a dislocated shoulder and a fractured leg, but he’s expected to make a full recovery.

If he’d had a gun, perhaps this tragedy could have been prevented.
That’s a helluva ‘falling-dream’ wake-up.
Hope he recovers from his injuries.
It happened Thursday and we don’t yet have a quote from a right wing pundit using it as analogy for America under the Obama administration?
The quality really suffers when they can’t copy someone else.
I’m just wondering, if you’re sleepwalking and all of a sudden you step off a cliff, do you wake up??? Do you wake up upon the start of the fall, or when you hit the ground??? Maybe they can ask this poor guy.
On one hand, I would say when you step off the cliff. But then, if you’re sleeping you don’t actually see yourself falling, you just don’t land a foot when you should.
Still, I would say that you wake up. On the very, very, very wrong side of the bed.
