The 27-year-old man proposed to his girlfriend after the couple had trekked up the mountain a day earlier. The 32-year-old girlfriend happened to slip and plunged off the Falkert mountain in that romantic moment. However, the woman miraculously survived the 650-foot drop off the cliff as the snow managed to break her fall.
It was one dreadful moment as her partner, who tried to hold on to her, also lost his balance and fell 50 feet through the air. He was left gripping a cliff edge. Fortunately, the couple was rescued and the woman was found lying motionless by a passerby, who contacted emergency services. On the other hand, her fiancé was rescued by a helicopter from the cliff edge he was clinging to.
"The two were extremely lucky! Had it not been for snow, it would have turned out very differently," a police officer at the scene said, according to the Daily Mail.
The two received medical treatment, and the man has been diagnosed with a vertebrate fracture.
This is not the first time that a romantic proposal has gone wrong. In September, a man's marriage proposal was ruined by a runaway boat that sent him tumbling into the water.
