Watch backcountry skier accidentally fly off a cliff! (He's fine)

Devin Stratton, 25, was backcountry skiing in Utah's Wasatch Range when he accidentally glided right off a 150-foot cliff. It was unmarked. Above, his Instagram post with the video evidence.

I [prayed] in my head in midair, Stratton told the Washington Post. It doesnt sound like it in the raw footage because Im cussing. But in my head, I was praying.

We spent nearly five hours where I landed digging, looking for one of my skis. And every time I looked up at the cliff, I felt sick to my stomach, he said. Im super lucky to be alive, or at least not hurt Not even a scratch or a bruise.

He's been skiing several times since last week's accident, but he has a new outlook on the terrain.

If Im unfamiliar with the territory, Im gonna go slow until I know it really well, he said.
