Wild footage from the slopes of Italy where a helicopter accidentally dropped a propane filled cylinder on an active trail at Aprica Ski Resort in northern Italy last winter.

As you can see from the video the tank crashed down in a puff of snow and went careening into the paths of multiple skiers. Thankfully no one took a direct hit and no injuries were reported but it very nearly hit a few people on the way down.
