Skier: I fell off a 1,600ft mountain but 'I wasn't really scared for my life'

Pro-skier Ian McIntosh told 5 live he just tried to keep his legs together and cover his head when he fell down a mountain in Alaska.

The Canadian said: 'I wasn't really scared for my life, I just knew I was in for one heck of a ride.'

Ian McIntosh wasn't injured in the fall apart from a tweaked knee and a sore neck.

He said no one else should find themselves in that situation and added 'unless you're a professional skier you shouldn't be on a mountain like that.'

Ian McIntosh's fall happened during filming of the Paradise Waits documentary.
