He hurt his shoulder and hip. His teammates stabilized him and called the Spéléo Secours.
Together with a nurse and doctor the rescuers reached him at about midnight.
As the caver appeared to be healthy enough to be transported, more rescuers came and re-equipped the last 1.5 km to the exit.
In the morning they started moving the victim on a stretcher towards the exit. At about 11.30 they safely exited the cave and the victim was transported to a nearby hospital.
