The second rider in the group dropped into the run and caused a substantial settlement. Roughly 10 seconds later the bowl above and below the rider released. The rider was caught and buried but ended up on top of the debris in the end. Crown was Roughly 1m deep and 50m wide and ran full path. Due to visibility we couldn't tell how far it propagated, but it looked like the next bowl west had debris in the bottom too
