This slide broke without anyone on the hill. We were sitting near the bottom, and watched it break.
The person who went on the hillside went to the far left, and far right of the hill. He was jumping off a small knoll on the one side. On his last climb to jump, he climbed higher than his previous turns. Just about the time he got to the bottom to where we were sitting, the slide let go.
