| Devon Stratton, 25, miraculously survived the plunge without a scratch and later posted the clip of his misadventure at Mount Timpanogos on Instagram. | |
| The remarkable video shows Stratton skiing down the mountain below stunning blue skies before unintentionally diving right off the top of a cliff. | |
| Stratton can be heard shouting as he falls to the ground in a terrifying drop. | |
| Just moments later, he turns his face towards the camera to show he’s OK. Amazingly, Stratton escaped injury, despite landing on his back. | |
| “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,” he wrote in an Instagram post. | |
| In an interview with GrindTV, Stratton said: “I’m more than lucky. It’s a straight-up miracle I’m alive. I think the fact that I was skiing when I went off the cliff and I somehow had enough speed to clear the rocks you see in the video is nothing short of a miracle.” | |
| “When he [my friend] skied over to me after falling down the cliff, he just looked up at it then back at me and asked, ‘Dude, how are you still alive?'” | “When he [my friend] skied over to me after falling down the cliff, he just looked up at it then back at me and asked, ‘Dude, how are you still alive?'” |
