Snowboarder Apologizes To Family, Owns Up To Mistakes That Caused Avalanche

Snowboarder Jacob Erickson triggered an avalanche, then did something very few would ever consider: he admitted he made a mistake.

Not only did Erickson admit to making one mistake that led to the avalanche he captured on a GoPro camera attached to his helmet, but he admitted to multiple mistakes and apologized profusely to his friends and family.

"I am not proud of what I did on this day, and I am very lucky to have the chance to learn from this," writes Erickson in the caption of his Instagram post.
