Adam Potter had a bit of a tumble, then stood up and checked his map. Though the tumble was 1000ft off a mountain in Scotland, which he was lucky to survive.
Potter (did Voldermort push him?) aged 35 was hiking on Sgurr Choinnich Mor with friends and a dog when he slipped and rolled off one cliff edge to another.
"‘The speed accumulated really fast. I was trying to slow myself down but every time I slowed myself down I would then go over a cliff edge, so I would get all my speed back."-Metro
After trying to slow down unsuccessfully Potter was knocked up, but managed to gain consciousness to pick up his hiking gear and check a map. Rescue teams followed the trail of trashed hiking gear, only to find a man standing up at the end of it.
"‘We honestly thought it couldn’t have been him, as he was on his feet reading a map. He must have literally glanced off the outcrops as he fell, almost flying. He is lucky to be alive.’"-Metro
Adam Potter is still planning to climb Everest in the future
