An elderly woman in America has been treated for dizziness and nausea after a mountain rescue effort spun out of control.

As the 74-year-old was airlifted after slipping in Arizona yesterday, the wind from the blades of the helicopter began to repeatedly turn her stretcher.

It's estimated the woman was being spun around 150 times a minute, but experts say it's very rare a stretcher gets whipped around by the winds of a rescue chopper.
