Obviously there's something in the air:

A mountain walker suffered head and leg injuries when he decided to slide 150ft (45.7m) down an ice sheet in Snowdonia because it was "easier than walking".

The 23-year-old, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, had to be rescued off Tryfan by an RAF helicopter crew on Monday afternoon.

He was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan where he was treated for head injuries and a cut to his leg.
