Just for fun: I took him to mean that he went airborne at one point for what he perceived to be ten seconds. I'll agree that his perception of his time airborne is almost certainly off, but I think his story is plausible once you account for a little embellishment there. I also assumed he attempted to cut his edge in as a reaction to the slab giving way, but was unsuccessful as a result of the binding releasing... The article is unclear at best, but I don't think it's as far off as you make it seem.

Also, I've been airborne for at least a minute and a half on a snowboard.
No worries, MD. And just to be clear, I was just having some math fun, not really doubting the guys account.
