His microphone was still on as he was fell down the mountain. He could be heard screaming “No,” quite a few times before hitting the bottom and telling the crew: “I’m okay.”

He told Teton Gravity Research: “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.”
