"I was quite amazed that he refused to be rescued. I have been working on the helicopter for nearly 15 years and although I have seen people reluctant to be rescued, I have never met anyone who flatly refused." Source: Westpac Rescue Helicopter crewman Dave Greenberg, after a diver stranded on a rock off the coast of Wellington refused to be taken aboard a rescue helicopter due to the man's fear of heights. The man was later rescued -- by a boat.
