A hula hoop injury sparked a helicopter rescue at Aramoana on Saturday.
St John was called to Spit Beach, Aramoana following a call a 21 year old woman had dislocated her knee while using a hula hoop, a spokesman said.
An ambulance was unable to reach the area, and the Otago Regional Rescue Helicopter was called to the scene, about 3.30pm.
