VIDEO: Skier takes a 1,000ft tumble down Alaskan mountain… and survives

Simon Lloyd

Everyone that’s ever tried skiing will be able to recall a time when they’ve fallen.

As you adapt to life on the slopes, the odd fall here and there is simply part of the learning curve.

Even the more experienced skiers are prone to a tumble once in a while, but perhaps not quite as dramatic as this one.

Angel Collinson falls 1,000 ft down an Alaskan mountainside, narrowly avoiding rocks before eventually coming to a halt.

Incredibly, she escapes with just two sprained fingers and bruising after the accident, which took place last year in the Neacola mountain range.
