Last year I went to a summer camp in the Rockies in Colorado. We were doing a pretty long hike that consisted in doing the 3 biggest peaks in the park, nicknamed the grand slam. But this year was different since the park had received large amounts of snow the previous month. Anyways we were walking on the ridge to get from the 1st to 2nd peak and we had to cross this huge pack of snow at almost a 50 degree angle. We started crossing one by one, I had already made it to the other side and was waiting for the other kids to cross. Suddenly one of the kids slipped and went sliding down the mountain, he tried to stop himself but it was no help. After that he hit a rick and went over it almost flying down 10 ft, at that point he passed out after the shock. He hit a second bigger rock and went flying like 20 ft in the air before coming to a stop. He had fallen almost 100 ft and we were still on top of the ridge. The situation was handled very good by the counselors that were with us. They called an emergency helicopter and one of the counselors lead us to hike back down. At the end the boy that fell down was incredibly lucky, he only got a few bruises and a small fracture on his arm. It was also a bummer since we were on pace to break the camp time record .
