I've heard of similar stories before. In this case, I imagine that since it was a snow and ice covered mountain, he probably landed in a relatively softer spot of snow rather than on rock.

Not that most people would survive hitting snow from that height--or even that this guy would again, should events repeat themselves. The odds of this guy surviving were vanishingly small, and he was damned lucky.

But this sort of thing does happen.
