First Person View Of Falling 100 Feet Down A Mountain [Video]

Mountain climber Mark Roberts was ice climbing up a mountain in the UK when he lost his grip and fell 100 feet down. He had a helmet camera on when he fell and captured a rare first-person view of falling from a mountain. Watch the full video here.

He then had to be airlifted to a hospital. He had this to say about the terrifying experience:

Once both axes were gone, it was arms, hands, legs and feet in the less consolidated snow on the slope to try and slow my speed. Fortunately I slid into a rocky outcrop on my left with a bit of a thump, which took some of the momentum out of my decent, resulting in a bit of a spin, but I could still look for opportunities below for a point to stop. It finished with a drop onto a bit of a ledge or hole where my pack and crampons took enough hold to stop me ...

I was a little dazed but, critically, not unconscious. Interestingly, I had the foresight to check the cam was still attached and just hoped the vid had recorded that: it wasn't one for repeating! Time seemed a little different. I knew I'd lost my glasses somewhere but I could see movement of someone below and gave them the thumbs up to show I was conscious and not too badly injured. I already knew there was some damage to my ankles which were fairly painful if they were moved.
