Ian McIntosh is one lucky ski dude after living to tell the tale of his 1600 foot near vertical fall in Alaska. The video is terrifying, the audio of the crash even more so.
TGR Co Founder, Todd Jones, says Ian’s fall “was the most terrifying crash I’ve ever seen.”
While filming for Paradise Waits up in the Neacola range of AK, Mac dropped into a line he thought he had studied thoroughly enough, only to fall into an unseen five foot deep trench on one of his first turns.
“From there, my slough took over and their was no way to stop, I pulled my airbag to help prevent against any possible trauma injuries as I tumbled to the bottom,” he said.
While attempting to regain his footing, Mac lost a ski and cartwheeled over 1,600 feet in under a minute.
Yowsers!
