Adam Potter, 36, from Glasgow, survived a 1,000ft (305m) fall from a mountain peak down the near-vertical eastern slope of Sgurr Choinnich Mor near Ben Nevis after losing his footing.

He was later airlifted to hospital by helicopter but was found to have suffered only minor injuries.

"Towards the end, there was this section where I had almost lost all my speed, which was great - but it also meant I could actually see the next cliff I was about to go over. And when I did go over that, I was a bit fearful for my life."

Broken chain?
 
Not that impressive. I've fallen much further, cumulatively.

No but in all seriousness, thats pretty ****ing epic. Inb4 tourists suit up in heavy armor and protection and jump off the cliff where he fell knowing they will miraculously land safe.
