I just thought this was insane and the fact he was totally fine.
Turns out I am afraid of heights... Miraculously I didn't even have a bruise! I did break a lot of gear including my helmet. Thanks to Matt for helping me dig for nearly 5 hours I found my lost ski and skied down. #jerryoftheday A video posted by Devin Stratton (@devins223) on Jan 24, 2017 at 2:49pm PST

Looks crazy man! It's indeed pretty awesome he was totally fine. He should've studied the map of the area a little better tho lmao.

Seems suspicious like he tried to send it and then changed his story when he didn't land it.

And this is one of the reasons that you should never follow tracks in the backcountry.

I love how flustered all the old hippies on Facebook get when they see somebody make a mistake like this.

Huge upset at the Darwin awards that day. He had the strongest case for the win by far.

Walking away from a 150ft cliff, let alone without any injuries, is about as claim-worthy as it gets. Accident or not, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
