Reply to comment by Littlebotweak in 2 Illinois teens on spring break killed in a sledding accident at Colorado's Copper Mountain | CNN by Lampwickhu

I have friends that frequent this area and they told me this spot that the 2 boys fell from is hundreds of feet. Onto ice.

Knowing where that half pipe is, I doubt it was hundreds. But easily 50+.

5 stories or 20, it doesn't make a ton of difference.

Also sounds like the ground was hard ice. Makes a huge difference what you are falling onto. And how. I’m guessing their tandem sled ride was a “dare us” gone tragically wrong.
