The father and son in distress entered the mountain from the south trailhead at 2:20 p.m., reached the summit of Hakkenzan at 3:10 p.m., and began their descent at 3:25 p.m. on the same day. When the father tried to help him, he lost his balance and both of them slid down the slope about 5 meters, injuring the father on the right side of his head. At around 3:45 p.m. on the same day, the father called 110 for rescue. A ground search team of police and firefighters was dispatched and found the two victims, who were later rescued by a Hokkaido Police helicopter.
