This time, they decided to move into an area that is not normally used as much by tourists, and which involves far more difficult terrain conditions.
– We went to the top of the mountain Seceda in Val Gardena at 15, says Tucker Doss, before he gets into when the tragedy suddenly happened a little later.
– It was at the top that the accident happened. At the top it was completely flat, but there was also a steep slope covered with grass there. It led down to the bottom of a cliff. Everything was normal and we did not feel that we were in any way in danger. It was no wind and completely calm weather conditions.
They enjoyed themselves in the mountains for a while, and started recording with their phones. Then it dawned on him that something was terribly wrong.
– We were about 60 meters apart when the accident occurred. I took pictures of the landscape, while Albert sat on the soft grass area just above the cliff, where he filmed himself with a tripod.
He continues:
– I sat with my back to him, and suddenly heard that he shouted my name. I turned around and could see that he slid uncontrollably down the grass and fell off the cliff, he says of the fateful seconds.
The comrades were left completely paralyzed and in horror at what had just happened.
– I was in shock and not able to move for a few seconds. Then I ran down to where he had been sitting to try to grasp what had just happened.
According to the interview with Ekstra Bladet, Tucker Doss would like to emphasize that the death was an accident, and that they were both very careful when moving on the mountain.
