Heritage police from Siem Reap police station coordinated with the Apsara authority to help the victim. They wrapped the lady in a hammock to carry her off from the mountain, and then took her to hospital immediately for tests and treatment.

I haven't done it myself, but Trip Advisor commenters say the walk up the Kbal Spean mountain is about 1.5kms on an uneven path, and it's a steep climb.
Not recommended for the elderly or the unfit then.

Coming back down in a hammock must be quite an experience too.

It is pretty steep but many times I have seen Indians at airports suddenly developing a disability and being driven to the departure gate by cart. Once there, they miraculously recover. Could this be the same thing?
