Melady Posted September 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2010 :confused: An older woman violently fell on the rocks at Peggy's Cove in Halifax on Tuesday September 14th. She appeared to have broken a hip and/or an arm, as she was unable to stand up. I've been praying for her ever since I saw her fall. I don't know what cruiseline she was on. If anyone knows of her condition, please post information here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseryyc Posted September 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2010 What's make you think she was on a cruise? She could have been just a tourist seeing Peggy's Cove. One should always be careful on shore side rocks, they are very slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melady Posted September 20, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I took it for granted since there were tour buses from 2 cruise ships there. I didn't even think that maybe the lady was a tourist, not a cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted September 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2010 It is not important whether she was a cruiser or not, she was evidently injured and I am sure that she is appreciative of your thoughts and prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted September 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Have prayed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted October 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I believe she was from RCI's Enchantment of the Seas. I know our ship was there at that date and later heard passengers asking at Guest Relations about a woman falling. Apparently her hip was broken and she would have to remain in a hospital in Halifax.

emcelh Posted October 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2010 My husband and I were there on an excursion from the Norwegian Jewel and saw the accident. She was just across the road from the gift shop. not on the wet rocks. It looked like she lost her balance and fell. We were sitting at one of the picnic tables and my husband tried to get to her before she went down but couldn't get there in time. She wasn't able to get up and said she thought it was her hip. We knew she was on one of the tour buses because the people she was with were getting things off the bus before the ambulance arrived. We wondered about her as well, and felt so sorry for her and the people she was traveling with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bento2744 Posted October 3, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That is such a dangerous area, people unsteady on their feet should remain in the giftshop area! I don't think our tour guide made any reference to being cautious, especially for those with limited mobility and there were many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
