According to his son, Nick Bester managed to escape down the mountain by sliding on his back until he was right against the fence of one of the properties.
He was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a local hospital, where he was to undergo more tests last night.
Neither police nor the family could be reached at the time of publishing.
