It's the first time the volunteer rescue team have had over 100 call outs in a single year.
Yesterday the team were called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service to a man who had fallen from his Mountain Bike on the Dalby Forest Red MTB route incurring a particularly painful chest injury.
It was the 102nd call out of the year for the rescue service.
The team say:
"Once on scene and after a rapid primary survey we administered pain relief before splinting him in a full body vacuum mattress. He was then transferred to a team Bell Stretcher and sledged through the woods to a waiting ambulance for transportation to definitive medical care. Eleven team members deployed for two and a half hours.
This is proving to our busiest year ever and the first time in our history we have responded to over 100 incidents in a calendar year. We wish the gentleman from this evening's job a speedy recovery."
