Accidental Heroes - 4. Mountain's Edge
A man has a horrific 200ft fall off a mountain in North Wales leaving him unconscious with terrible head injuries. The only people around are a group of school kids and their teachers. The science teacher uses all his ingenuity to revive the injured man, but can he keep him alive until the search and rescue team reaches them?
A boy is struck by lightning while playing with his friends in the park. He is badly burnt and in shock. A friend's dad comforts him - sometimes it's just the simplest things that help.
Plus the real footage of a shocking Formula 3 race crash. A driver is trapped in the car up against a barrier with fuel pouring out. Will his rival come to his aid? (R)
