Occurred on April 18, 2017 / Sila, Lurøy, Norway
Info from Licensor: "This footage is actually from a school trip where we went to a climbing area called 'Sila', approximately right in the middle of Norway on the west coast. We were first shown a designated area, by our teacher, for bouldering routes, but me and a couple of friends wanted to explore and maybe even find boulders that nobody had tried yet. We found some rock and decided to do some bouldering by ourselves. As the video shows, we found this approximately 3.5 meter, tall wall that we thought had potential. When it was my turn to climb, everything was going fine, until I was doing the last bits of pulling to get over the edge. The pulling resulted to a rock weighing at least 200 kg falling out of the wall. I immediately released my grip to the loose rock and fell straight down, without certainty that the rock was coming after me. When I landed on the bouldering mat I jumped away from the wall a split second before the rock crashed on to the bouldering mat. This impact made a hole straight through it. Luckily nobody got injured and I am very happy to be alive with all limbs still attached to my body."
