OGDEN, Utah (AP) - Authorities say a man has been rescued after falling 10 feet while “boulder-hopping” in northern Utah.

KUTV-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2r4LPhW) that the man had been jumping on rocks in a field of boulders with friends on Monday morning when he fell and was injured. A medical helicopter lifted him off the mountain and down to a parking lot, where an ambulance was ready to transport him to a nearby hospital.

Officials say the hiker sustained non-life threatening injuries.
