Saved by goats after my fall from the sacred mountain

Lives Less Ordinary

When he slid off a 40-metre cliff in the jungle, Morgan Segui thought he was sure to die.

Three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without food; that is the rule that every mountaineer knows by heart. For Morgan Segui, a French acrobat-turned-explorer, he knew it meant his chances of survival were vanishingly small. He lay at the bottom of a dry gorge in the Timorese jungle of South Asia, miles from help, after taking a dramatic fall which broke several bones and left a huge gash to his head. Dazed and without water, he spent three days and nights on the jungle floor trying to cling to life. Until, astonishingly, a herd of goats came to his rescue.

Morgan's written a book about his ordeal: Cinq Jours au Timor, published in French by Premier Parallèle.
