>>2519657>sliding down for milesI mean, more likely is you'd side down anywhere from 10-100 meters, and the fall could well kill you. The idea of suffocating being crushed by the ice sounds silly. A much more horrible thing would be to fall in, slide down all the way, crash on hard ice/rock in massive torrent of icy water flowing under the glacier, drown in it as you struggle with your crampons which, in the meantime, have got mangled in your clothes and lower limbs, and twisted your knees around horribly.
Also, vid related, from the edge of a very small glacier ~3000m altitude (Wildhorn).
