showing the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/\">Kleine Gaisl rockfall<\/a> in the Dolomites of northern Italy a week ago.\u00a0 These seems to capture rather larger collapse events than the one that<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/\"> I posted a couple of days ago<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ilWtX8Erf9U\">Pinopoli Clementi has posted this video<\/a>, which seems to capture a big collapse involving some large boulders:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ilWtX8Erf9U?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>And the same person has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s4l16nYe1zQ\">posted another video<\/a>, taken from a different angle, that seems to show a different collapse event:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s4l16nYe1zQ?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most impressive thing here is way that comparatively small initial failures trigger larger events downslope, creating very large landslides.\u00a0 These two images, just a few seconds apart, capture this beautifully.\u00a0 Here is a collapse of a rock section from the upper slope:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19561\" style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19561\" class=\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kleine Gaisl rockfall via Youtube<\/p><\/div>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great challenges for landslide hazard assessment is being able to account for this effect, which can dramatically change the volume of the event, and thus the destructive potential and runout distance.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Jim Falls, who highlighted these videos to me<a
