He won’t feel so lucky when he gets the bill for the search and rescue.

Yeah this phenomena is known to occur on what are called offwidth cracks - those wider than a fist.

The technique involves a lot of jamming larger body parts in to gain incremental height, usually shredding clothes, shoes, skin etc in the process.

It takes a special individual to really appreciate it - something I’m not.
