The Canadian Armed Forces says three of its members were injured last week after falling into a crevasse during a training exercise in Jasper National Park.<\/p>\n

Maj. Bradley Roy said the three-person rope team was performing a rescue exercise when they dropped about 20 metres into the crevasse on the Athabasca Glacier.<\/p>\n

Roy said the three were responsive and stable and were flown to hospital.<\/p>\n

He said it was a high-risk exercise and that rescue personnel were already at the scene in case of an accident.<\/p>\n

Roy said an investigation is underway to determine what led to the fall and to make sure training procedures are safe and performed as planned.<\/p>\n

Citing privacy considerations, he did not provide details on the injuries.<\/p>\n
