A French tourist has survived after falling into the Grand Canyon.

The unnamed 18-year-old man slipped while taking pictures near the rim, park rangers said.

He plummeted 75 feet before landing unconscious on a ledge as horrified tourists looked on.

Park rangers received a report of a man falling over the edge of Mather Point, which is a short walk behind the South Rim's visitor centre.

Paramedics rappelled down to the man's location and stabilised him so he could be airlifted out of the canyon and transported by ambulance to Flagstaff Medical Centre.

Park officials say the man - whose name and hometown have not been released - was treated for wrist, ankle and neck injuries.
