A disabled man, Nathan Rollinson, faced a distressing situation when he fell out of his wheelchair in his south London flat block and had to wait 23 hours for emergency services due to a broken lift. London Fire Brigade eventually hoisted him over his balcony for treatment of spinal problems, kidney injuries, and a blood clot in his lungs.
Mr. Rollinson highlighted challenges in the unsuitability of his property for wheelchair use, emphasizing the need for appropriate accommodation to avoid such incidents. He mentioned the lift as the 'only safe route' for evacuation and criticized the lack of space for emergency services.
