Absolutely gut wrenching 1000 foot fall caught on GoPro on South Maroon Bell in Aspen, Colorado. The skier clipped a rock at slow speed at the top, prompting the extended uncontrolled descent. Incredibly, he not only survived but walked away with only superficial injuries:
“Matt Randall took a 1,000 foot fall from the top of South Maroon Bell, one that he undoubtedly shouldn’t have survived. He was solo ski mountaineering just outside of Aspen Colorado and Matt somehow got lucky and walked away with zero injuries and one broken ski. He wants to share his experience because he believes it would be beneficial for others to hear since he’s convinced there are lots of other people out there with similar human traits. Listen to this episode to hear how someone can survive that long of a fall, and what he learned from his mistake.”
