In the footage Ringo recorded of himself, he is seen lying next to a rock. He has also propped his leg onto a branch to give him a small amount of protection from the blazing sun.

“I can’t stand and I can’t talk, I can’t sit and I definitely can’t walk,” he explains to the camera, in between screaming for help.

It wasn’t until officials found him via helicopter the man was rescued from the park, which had hit temperatures of 110.
