Description:
A lucky teen escaped death after he plunged down a freezing waterfall and broke his leg on England’s highest mountain.<br/>Ben Longton, 18, feared he would ‘die if he fell asleep’ after he spent nine hours trapped alone in a snowy canyon following his 32ft (10m) fall on Scafell Pike.<br/>The farm worker had neared the top of the 3,209ft (978m) peak in the Lake District on March 1 this year in fine weather but faced a freak blizzard on his descent.<br/>And as he headed down paths covered by roughly 12 inches (30cm) of snow with his dogs, Dug and Bella, he tumbled down a waterfall.<br/>Ben dragged himself out of its plunge pool nursing a broken right leg but was then left stuck in a 6ft (1.8m) wide ravine with no phone signal.<br/>And as darkness arrived, in sub-zero temperatures, he prepared himself for death on the mountainside - while being plagued by bizarre hallucinations.
