Shocking skiing crash caught on GoPro

Shocking footage has emerged from Norway of a man tumbling down a rocky mountain after falling over while skiing.

The video, captured on his body-mounted GoPro earlier this week, shows the skier push off, only to fall almost immediately and fall quite some distance before eventually coming to a stop.

"When I finally had walked all the way up the mountain I fell right after I took off," the filmer wrote online.

"Due to hard conditions one of my skis fell off."
