Emergency crews were called to yet another fall at a Hamilton waterfall Monday afternoon, and one man was rushed to hospital.

Hamilton fire public information officer Claudio Mostacci said firefighters were dispatched around 4:20 p.m. after getting reports a man had fallen about 30 metres at the Devil's Punch Bowl.

"He had a significant fall and suffered significant injuries," Mostacci said, though he could not give specifics about the man's condition. Mostacci said the man was taken to hospital.

A full rope rescue was not needed in this case, Mostacci said, as emergency crews were able to carry the man out from where he landed once they stabilized him on a board.

It has been a record year for falls at Hamilton waterfalls this year, though Mostacci couldn't give an exact number as to how many people have needed rescuing in 2016.

"It's being looked at," he said. "Certainly it's more than the other year's we've had."

A 25-year-old Toronto man died after falling at the Devil's Punchbowl back in June.
