There was not a fatality involved with the toy still in the crack. Some broken bones and it took a major effort from the search and rescue squad to get them out. I am sure I could find the photos of the extraction. The only fatality that I know of on Lionsback was a number of years ago a couple of kids from West Valley City took a plunge off the north end (also in a Toyota). They were trying to come down the backside. No one saw it happen but they ended up in the alley next to Lionsbask that I often use to come off of Hell’s Revenge. Some folks found them long after they had taken the plunge. People do the backside all the time but you wont get me to do it. Rick Russell has a video out called Moab Extreme that you can purchase on line from his web site where they do the backside. In fact it starts to snow while they are on top.
