...when you're up in a skiplane looking for a good snowboarding spot, touch down on good hard, fast snow, and slide over the edge of the mountain.............

...................and wind up like this. They both walked away and it took only minor repairs to fix the plane. :o

Caught by the Hand of God ....

Only thought that comes to mind is ...

What kinda outlook would you have on life after an experience like that ? :)

You can clearly see the track marks attempting to turn it about before the drop. You can imagine it, flaps down, drop here, nicely done, throttle right down, ground speed around 50, and suddenly the precipice appears. Fast. Too fast. Brakes. Sphincter factor of 9.8-plus at that point I'd imagine.

Lucky escape definitely. But I'd be surprised if it was a vastly experienced pilot.
