Crash of the Year? Ian McIntosh Falls 1,600-Vertical-Feet in Alaskaโ€ฆ

SnowBrains |

Wow.  This is a helluva fall.  Especially since Ian has already badly broken his femur in Alaska while filming in the pastโ€ฆ  This is about as bad as a fall can get.  Heโ€™s accelerating while fallingโ€ฆ  Brutal.  Doesnโ€™t look like there was any room to breath in thereโ€ฆ

โ€œPro skiing veteran, Ian McIntosh, narrowly escapes with his life after what TGR Co Founder, Todd Jones, says โ€œwas the most terrifying crash Iโ€™ve ever seen.โ€ 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. โ€œFrom 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,โ€ he said. While attempting to regain his footing, Mac lost a ski and cartwheeled over 1,600 feet in under a minute. To check out his equally terrifying, less dangerous AK lines, get a copy of TGRโ€™s 2016 ski and snowboard film, Paradise Waits.โ€ โ€“ TGR
