The rock I stood on let loose suddenly . I didn't feel it let go. In an instant I found myself flying down the hill, facing out, toward a 1500' drop. Shit, I'm really falling fast. Huh, I stopped.
Nothing is broken.
But I was rattled. Well I do know that I didn't panic as I fell, and that probably made all the difference. I still don't know how I stopped my fall. Neither did the others in the party. They expected to see me tumble out of sight.
