"[It] was the most terrifying crash I’ve ever seen," said Todd Jones, co-founder of Teton Gravity Research.
Though McIntosh had carefully studied the route, an unexpected trench caused him to lose control and fall roughly 1,600 feet down the side of the mountain.
"From there, my slough took over and there was no way to stop, I pulled my airbag to help prevent against any possible trauma injuries as I tumbled to the bottom," McIntosh said, according to TGR.
