Watch Ice Climber Slide Down Mountain
This video is a few years old, but is a reminder to play safe in winter. Mark Roberts, 47, was climbing the highest mountain in Wales, Snowdon, when he was hit by falling ice.
He then fell the length of a few pitches, but got away without any major injuries.
Thirty minutes after his fall, Roberts was picked up by a helicopter and taken to a hospital.
