The Singaporean man had been injured at a depth of about 40m, said the head of the rescue organisation.
Rescuers took a route of 400m to 500m to “avoid difficult points” to reach the exit because they needed to stretcher him.
Dr Nyerges said that the first BMSz rescuer arrived at the cave, which is close to Budapest’s city centre, at 12.26pm. A post on BMSz’s website dated March 22 said that the injured man “was found to be in good condition and the cave tour guide had provided him with thermal protection against cold”, adding that the temperature in the cave was 12 deg C.
More rescuers had arrived in the meantime, and they constructed ropeways and pulley systems to lift the injured man to the surface – an operation that took 1½ hours.
