Footage of a hiker sliding down the side of Mount Nama in Sichuan province, China, has gone viral online. Sadly the incident could have easily been avoided had all the safety procedures been followed correctly.
The 31-year-old man, who has been identified as Mr Hong, who was travelling as part of a group in the region. The man’s cousin told news outlets that it had been his first time attempting to hike the mountain which may explain why he made such a deadly mistake.
